38 says give and it shall be given unto you good measure pressed down and shaken together and running over shall men give into your bosom for with the same measure that he met with it all shall be measured unto you again keep this in mind the apostle paul said the lord loves loves givers but not just a giver why because he that so sparingly will reap sparingly but he that source bountifully

mighty mighty name of jesus and the children of god said amen amen and amen well god's children beat me out of calvary just for a moment so that we can gaze into the eyes of jesus mentally so that we can see what our savior went through to show his love to mankind you remember they took and planted thorns platting them together to place upon him a crown of thorns they kept him up and beat him all night they hung jesus on the cross they put nails in his hands and nails and his feet so as we stand here at the feet of jesus gazing into his eyes we see the hurt we see the blood we see the batter and the bruising but we have a reason to celebrate paul says i did not receive this by man but by revelation that on the same night that jesus was betrayed he took bread he blessed it he broke it he gave it to his disciples and said eat do this in remembrance of me will you pray with me please our god of heaven father we thank you this morning for this opportunity to meet you father at the table

should mount upon the wings of eagles that we should run and not be weary that we should walk and not faint we thank you and we praise you father in the mighty name of jesus and the children of god said amen man and a man this morning we would like to invite you back to our studies in the book of galatians the chapter is six and verse number one but i would uh if you will allow me to read verses one through verse number five as paul writes to the church he says as to the churches he says brothers if anyone is caught in any transgression you who are spiritual should restore him in the spirit of gentleness keep watch on yourself lest you two be tempted by one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of christ for if anyone thinks himself is something when he's nothing he deceives himself but let each one test his own work and then his reason to post will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor for each for each will have to buy his own load looking at what paul says in verse number one brothers if anyone is caught in a transgression you who are spiritual should restore him in the spirit of gentleness you know that we are using for a subject heading this is part two of this series entitled let us just see let us just see the church the church that jesus purchased with his own precious blood is struggling in a lot of areas and since we are struggling in a lot of areas it's important that we see from within the scriptures that the church has always had a fight and we need to understand that the devil sets out to destroy the people of god jesus says in john 10 that the faith cometh not but to steal kill and to destroy he said but i've come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly we need to understand and we must understand that in this world since this world is filled with ups and downs we must understand that the church will go through many obstacles and as we face those obstacles it's about how we deal with the obstacles depending upon the lord we understand when jesus says these words have i spoken unto you that in me he might have peace he said in the world he should have tribulation but be of good cheer i have overcome the world we understand that this world will offer us some ups and downs but we need to keep in mind because this is what i've tried to show you from from the beginning of this lesson i wanted you to see what the devil was up to i need for you to see and understand what the lord can do even though the devil tried to mess you up i need for you to see the devil because the devil is real the devil sets out to devour he sets out to destroy he's like a roaring lion and you need to understand that you need to be prepared for the devil but john says john says let no man love this world these are the things that are in the world of all that is in the world the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life that's how the devil will come at us and because that's how the devil will come at us we need to be prepared but i wanted you to see what the devil would do to us so let me show you once again the devil wants to smear our reputation and because he sets out to smear our reputation you need to understand the need of depending upon the lord not only will the devil try to smear our reputation but he sears our conscience he wants to mess you up he wants to pull you away from the salvation of jesus christ as a matter of fact that brings us to the very point he wants to seize our salvation but there is a contrasting moment we need to understand that jesus is our savior and seeing that jesus is our savior and knowing that the devil is out to destroy us we need to see the contrast about reality regardless what the devil can do understand that if you have a smeared reputation jesus can still use you for his service lord have mercy jesus i showed you a couple of weeks ago how the jesus how jesus went to samaria and just waited for the woman at the well he knew that everybody in the city talked about this woman except for the men but jesus wanted to show you that even though she has a smeared reputation the lord said i can still use her for my services oh but wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute because sometimes see he not only smears our reputation but he can sear our conscience and when he sets out to smear a seer our conscience jesus says i can convert you to serve me you've got to see what the lord can do because just when everybody else out there in the world counts us out the lord said i still got used for you i still can use you and we have to be careful i'm so glad i preached for the lord and not for mankind because see i i if if i preach for mankind mankind wouldn't hire me because see i have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god but god says i'm willing to forgive you i'm willing to use you in the kingdom oh y'all don't hear what i'm talking about this morning watch this now because how satan sees this our salvation jesus said i've secured your salvation if you remain faithful in me i will secure your salvation that's why i emphasize to each one of you so often that you need to go to the watery grave of baptism you need to make sure that you've been washed in the blood of the lamb you need to understand that if you want to be a king and a priest according to revelation 1 and verses 5 and number six you need to go to the water if you want to be recognized as peculiar people if you want to be recognized as a holy nation if you want to be recognized and special in the outside of god in ii peter well first peter chapter 2 and verses 9 and number 10 you've got to make sure that you're in christ jesus because without jesus you are nobody and with jesus you are somebody so i want you to see this because i want you to see that in the churches of galatia they had their struggles they had their ups and downs and just like we will go through our struggles our ups and downs we've got to learn how to depend upon the lord we've got to make sure that the church bears the lord's name we've got to make sure that the lord's people understand and know jesus so i say let us just see because we need to see what is before us so the question is as brother dunn uh wales would always ask who was the spiritual because paul said let he who is spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness see any of us can be caught in any type of situation see some of us think that i'm too good to get caught in the sin but i'm here to tell you that's your mind playing tricks on you and you could be seared and you don't even know it lord how much i'm talking to somebody so as we talked this morning look at this now who are the spiritual the spiritual of those who are controlled and guided by the spirit of god look at this now you've got to see this and you've got to understand this you've got you need to appreciate this because see jesus god's son gave his life for the sins of all mankind so what we have that we recognize as the bible what we have we recognize as the bibles the biblios came about because god the father gave it to the son god the son gave it to god the holy spirit god the holy spirit gave it to the apostles and prophets that we might have our direction from earth to glory we have to spend time in the word of god so that we can allow the spirit of god to grow within us we receive the holy spirit at baptism but the holy spirit will not grow if we will not feed it the word of god so i say lord lord help us because sometimes we don't want to read and there are blessings that come from reading revelation 1 and verses number 3 i said lord help us because not only do we not want to read we don't want to comprehend i said lord help us because not only do we not want to read and do we not want to comprehend we just don't want to spend time with god see when you get into the word of god you're spending time with god and when you're spending time with god you're developing the attitude of god and you'll find yourself behaving like god but if you do not you'll find yourself behaving just like the devil you'll think like the devil you'll do just what the devil wants you to do y'all somebody's not listening to me i must be by myself but let's just see because i i want us to see what's out there for us because we need to understand that we're in the midst of a challenging situation and since we are in the midst of a challenging situation let's just see the struggles of the church you know putting this together i got to thinking and i said i could rush through the book of galatians and i will not really have to look at all the struggles that's really in the scriptures but i believe that's what the devil wants me to do he don't want me to spend time in this book so that we can see the different struggles within this book so if you can't see the struggles then you won't see the scene now i got a fixture for you because see if you're not willing to really look at the struggles you can't see the scene the scene is the church of the first century the scene is the church right now the scene is the church in the future i told you last week i'm wearing i'm concerned about many different situations and i showed you the questions that i placed out there that i'm really concerned about so therefore we look at the scene we need to look not only at the scene right now but we've got to see the scene back of all we've got to see the scene in the future the only time the church will be in his perfective state is when his with and been delivered to god almighty but at the same time jesus was perfect jesus's pride is going through some situations so we have to talk about the spiritual we've got to get people to see the spiritual we need to know who are the spiritual everybody that's in the church just not spiritual so we've got to nail it down we've got to come to the forefront and say let's deal with it let's see it as god has placed it before us therefore i say not only let's just see it but let's get real this morning can we get real this morning we might as well because the church has real struggles the church has real struggles we got some big eyes and some little use see everybody and and y'all saw it last week because paul talked about the influential he said they hadn't done anything to me they are not doing anything for me so don't make me go over that and show it to you again because i just wanted you to see that yeah even back then the church was talking about some big eyes and some little ewes the church had some real struggles but hold on the church has many struggles the church's struggles are real there are many and the devil wants to destroy the lord's people well regardless if the devil wants to destroy the lord's people you need to understand god can give a strength to overcome the devil that's why i i go over james chapter four and let us see verse seven eight and verse number nine he says now submit yourself therefore to god why do you just wanna submit uh now so often we fail to see the different solutions that's in the bible so often we fail to see the different formulas that's in the bible i'm getting ready to show you what i showed you one on wednesday night i'm getting ready to show you another one if you want the devil to run from you if you want the devil to really run from you you've got to draw close to god so james said submit yourself in other words place yourself under god's control and guess what he said the devil will flee from you that word flee that means run you should want him to run from you and then he says draw nigh unto god and god will draw nah unto you if you don't draw nigh to god god will not draw not to you it's not where god will become and make himself to be a part of you you've got to make sure you invite him to be a part of your life so you've got to spend time in the word of god because the struggles the church are facing are real the church the struggles that the church are facing are many and so many folks will say that i just don't want to be a part of the church if you want to make heaven your home you got to be a part of the church that jesus purchased with his own precious blood acts 20 and verse number 28 this is the church that jesus promised to build matthew 16 verses 18 and verses number 19 mark chapter one and verse number one don't make me go through all of this i just want you to see this so i say let us just see we need to see what is it that we need to see i want you to see the different struggles because with every struggle the lord has provided a solution the lord has already given us and you know what if the truth be told well all have i shown you thus far i could offer the invitation and let that be a lesson but you know that just wouldn't be me so i've got to show you something because see there's something that you need to see this morning see with the struggles god provided solution he took the time to just say paul i want you to write and when paul got to writing and there are six six paragraphs in the book of galatians six of them now so when you see this but and i showed you the problems in one i showed you the problems in two i think i showed you one of the problems in three i didn't show you four i didn't show you five and i didn't show you six so i'm going to show you them this morning but you need to see this because right in the midst of this he said i guess i better give them a solution to the problem even before they see it because see sometimes we can get focused so hard upon the problem that we'll forget about the solution so as we see the struggles you need to see the solution and it's right there in galatians chapter four verse four through verse number six the bible says but when the fullness of time is come god sent forth his son born of a woman born under the law that he might redeem them that were under the law that we might receive the adoptions of sons and because he our sons god sent forth the spirit of his son into our hearts crying our father wait wait you got to see this see some people when they adopt children don't make the children really they full players children but when the lord adopted us when we come up out of that watery grave of baptism we are a part of his family he says you can call out father father you can call me daddy alba is daddy you can call me your daddy because i'm your daddy now somebody ought to see this it's not every day you can call somebody daddy the one that's daddy will provide the one that's daddy will make you feel good when you don't feel good the one that y'all somebody somebody know what i'm talking about when you say daddy oh but wait a minute wait a minute let me go let me work a little bit because see i need for you to see the solution in the midst of the struggle jesus is the solution regardless of the different struggles but wait a minute wait a minute because see sometimes we think that we are not supposed to have any kind of obstacles in the church we think that we are not going to have troubles in the church but what makes you thank you so much better than everybody else when the church from the first century up until now been going through their struggle so you know blue springs we've got to go through our struggle every night then you gotta take a weapon because when you're taken with it that means god's getting our attention so let's deal we dealt with the struggle so let's go back and let's continue to deal with the struggles let me show you what i was talking about see the apostle paul had to confront his apostleship because see he was writing to not just one church but he write into all the churches of galatia and he had to confirm to them that he was an apostle not made by man but made by god's son oh now and actually in all actuality i could go over and show you in the book of corinth because he writes to the church in corinth and he has the business he had to do the same thing again he had to let them know that he was an apostle that's why he said i didn't receive it by man but i received it by under revelation lord have mercy lord don't spend all more than that somebody already know this they can help them to see it he expressed to them the one gospel because somebody else had brought another gospel up in there don't worry we're going to deal with them we're going to deal with them because i think you ought to call them out i think you ought to pinpoint who they are and what they are doing and what they're saying based off what paul is showing us oh hold on wait a minute wait a minute he says god is not impartial he don't have big eyes no no no little use he treats us all the same oh but wait wait wait wait let me let me let me let me get over here because i'm not through this i'm i'm trying to show you some issues that's really that that faces that was facing the church and if it was it was if it was facing the church then you've got to know chances are we're still battling with them right now i showed you that the leaders were not present preacher oh wait a minute now no see you like to talk about peter but you won't tell the truth about peter peter was an apostle peter was the one that confessed that jesus christ jesus was the christ the son of the living god it was peter that says when when when when jesus in john 6 shares with his the disciples the 80s the 70s that's there and he says will you also go away it was peter that said lord where shall we go because you have the words of eternal life but wait let me show you peter in matthew 16 right after right after peter has made the great confession jesus calls peter the devil he said get behind me the devil oh look now wait wait wait wait wait i told you a couple of weeks ago peter peter was ready to die with jesus he said he was he said he was ready to go to jail which he said he was but wait jesus tells peter he says when thou art converted he said because the devil have requested to sift you as wheat he said but when thou art converted strengthen thy brethren jesus said peter you getting ready to go through something so when you come out of it i need you to help strengthen the others this listen to me just listen to me just listen to me so now when paul confronts him to his face this is just peter being real he was with when he was with the gentiles he was with the gentiles but when the jews would come around he'd jump up from the table and get with the the the jews paul says you're a judaizer he said you're you're fake hypocrite he said i told him to his face and he said and then because he was behaving the way he was behaving he made barnumbers fall so now i gotta get both of them lord have mercy the church had allowed false teachers to come within that's why they was trying to bring another gospel and get this now they had gotten to the part that they didn't want to move from slavery to become an heir of god through favor now who wouldn't want to leave slavery people that are slaves and don't know no better want to stay in slavery so he said you want to be a slave to sin or do you want to be a slave to the savior oh i'll show it to you don't wait don't don't don't worry i got to go get it because see you got to recognize the false teachers that's there because the false teachers was there it was causing others to behave hypocritical and because they were behaving hypocritical they didn't want to come out of their slavery to become part of the air of god galatians chapter 3 verses 1 and verses number two he says oh foolish galatians who has bewitched you it was before your eyes that jesus christ was publicly portrayed as crucified let me ask you only this did you receive the spirit by works of law or by hearing with faith oh [Music] what's the problem the problem is simply this there were those that was trying to push upon them the importance of being circumcised as well as being baptized he says there is no need to be circumcised you need to leave that alone did not the group go back in council in jerusalem and did not the apostles come up and tell you that there was no need to be circumcised and no eating of the blood no we forget you know why we forget because we allow false teachers to infiltrate us and that we will we'll receive what the false teachers have to say and we will not receive what jesus has to say the problem is simply this we don't remember what jesus said but what the false teachers say will pique our curiosity to the very point that we get excited about what they are saying and we will believe them more than we would believe what jesus had to say i say this and i say it boldly i tell you often you don't ever have to receive what i have to say go look in the book for yourself because i put line up online line up online preach up on precepts here a little and there a little i'm working right now just in the book of galatians but i'm going to show you something else because see sometimes we will not stay with the word of god we want to believe what others have to say more than what god has to say and people twist the scriptures all the time i'm just saying let us just see let us see what you want us to see what the book has to say once you see what the book has to say you have no other choice but to believe what god has already said see the struggles what are the struggles the problems right here in galatians 3 and verses number 22. i told you this morning i can go all the way back if need be to genesis chapter 6 and show you that the intentions of men in their heart is just evil if you force me i'll work in the book of exodus and do the very same thing i can do that all the way up to first kings 8 and verses number 46 and solomon is dedicating the temple and he said there is not a man here that does not sin now we understand that and we remember that but for some reason or another we think that we are better than everybody else we forget that in romans chapter 3 and verses number 23 the scripture said that we have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god we forget that in romans chapter 5 and verses number 12 the bible says that we are all sinners so paul says he shows the church in galatia he said we got an underlining problem and the underlying problem is simply sin he said but the scriptures had concluded all under sin that the promise by faith of jesus christ might be given to them that believe we all know we've got this problem we got the common problem and the common problem is sin lord have mercy jesus but wait a minute many don't know what is it that they don't know well every time i want to show you what they don't know is that the devil gets in part of this so i need to show you this with here this morning say many water don't know how to move from slavery some have the mentality they just want to stay in slavery when paul talks about grace in romans the sixth chapter the question was asked should we continue in sin that grace may abound so some just want to rely and stay in sin so watch what paul does in romans 6 and verse number 16. he said do you not know but if you present yourselves to everyone as obedient slaves you are slaves to the one whom you obey either of sin which leads to death or the obedience which leads to a righteousness wait he said i'm just trying to help you since you just want to remain a slave let me help you to see that be an obedient slave be the one that obeys god be the one that stays with god be with the one that can give you life be with the one that can give you eternal life be the one that raised has he raised jesus from the grave he can also raise you from the grave be with the one that can give you all good and perfect gifts be with the one that called you out of darkness into the marvelous light don't be the one that continued to stay in darkness don't be the one that will lead you into hell everlasting fire don't be with the one that wants to live in darkness i told you once i'll tell you again the devil don't want to go to hell by himself hell was created for him and his angel and i just will not declare i'm an angel or a messenger of the devil y'all do know that the word angel simply mean minister right i know that you do i know you remember i know you remember but at the same time don't be the one that say i'm just gonna follow the devil don't be like some of our crazy folks on this side of life say well all my friends is gonna be in hell so i might as well go there too does that mean you wanna drop a drop off the same ditch that they jumped off of i i don't think so not flawed not floyd i don't want to go that route i got enough issues on my own many many many many many don't know that you need to move from slavery you see you should desire to be an heir desire to be the heir of god almighty don't be an heir with the devil the devil can't make your life seem fulfilled look at this now in galatians 4 verse 6 and verse number 7 the bible says because you are sons god has sent the spirit of his son into your heart crying abba father daddy so you are no longer slave but a son and if a son then an heir through god he said look look see i know you understand something about slavery he said but you should want to be a genuine son you should want to be an heir to the throne of heaven and that's why i say you got to learn how to move from slavery to sainthood that's another lesson see in order to move from slavery to sainthood you got to see the significance i if i'm going to be a slave let me be a slave to jesus but but see i need to be a saint i need to be one that's been set aside i want to be one that's the special i want to be special because i tell everybody every day i'm floyd rogers and they go and i'm one of god's just child i'm one of god's sons i'm not just a son i'm one of god's sons i'm special and if i'm not spreading nobody else's eyes i'm special in the eyesight of god i'm a king and i'm a priest and i know i know you look and you go and what's so significant about that oh then you don't know the benefits that i have i can call upon the mighty name of god and he hears me i know he heals me because i don't mind acknowledging my faults i don't mind asking him to forgive me and when i ask he forgives me he knows i'm not perfect he see me working tirelessly trying to reach perfection he understands me because his son came to this earth he went through the very same thing that i go through every day so he knows me i'm recognized as one that belongs to him but wait a minute wait a minute this is the problem this is the problem right here not not not many people understand the value of love i told you this morning we love him because he first loved us the problem right here in the church of canadians is that they have allowed these judaizers to come up in here and to change their value system and when the devil change your value system you leave the love to go to lust when you get to the lust area you begin to sin now keep this in mind james chapter 1 james 1 verses number 13. he said let no man say when he's been tempted he's ticket of god because no one can be tempted of god but every man is tempted when he's drawn away after his own lust oh stop floyd leave it alone leave it alone leave it alone but i got to help people to see the value of love jesus jesus jesus help us to see this help us lord help us lord because we we we we just don't want to see it we don't want to see it because we don't see it so in the book of galatians chapter 6 and verses 12 and 13 he says now it is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of christ for even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh he said see i told you about the jewish men they loved to say they were circumcised the eighth day and then all of a sudden they just drop their trousers and this show see i've been circumcised that was a big thing to them because god made a covenant with moses god made a covenant with abraham and that that circumcision was that covenant they recognized that they was god's chosen people but see now i said i want you to see something different and what it's all based upon now for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believed in him shall not perish but have everlasting life for god sent not his son into the world to condemn the world but the world through him might be saying what's the problem we've got to see and remember the value of love i don't see it preach i know that's why we need to emphasize it watch this in first peter 4 and verses number eight he says above all keep loving one another earnestly since love covers a multitude of sin wait i told you her wednesday when god really wants us to see something he puts it in his book more than one time and for some reason or another we still don't see it the way we need to see it so i i want you to watch this exercise because it's it's all right here how many times does he emphasize love if i went to romans five in verses number eight but god committed his love toward us that while we was yet sinners christ died for us but wait a minute wait a minute i believe if i go and show you something in the new i'll be able to go and show you the same thing in the o i think we ought to take a back trip let's go to proverbs chapter 10 and verses number 12. he says hatred stairs of strife but love covers all offices you know why our world is in the shape that it's in right now because we don't love you know why homes are in the shape that they're in right now because we don't know how to love you know why the church is in the shape that it's in you know why the church have problems like it's having problems right now because of the lack of love we don't know how to sit down and talk with one another and teach one another and show one another the importance of love do you know why so many have left the church and going out there in the world and established their own work it's all pace of love but wait a minute wait a minute i'm not nowhere to finish this yet i'm not nowhere finished i want us to see we need to remember the value of love james 5 and verses number 20. the bible says let him know that whoever brings uh brings back a sinner from the wandering shall save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins why would one go and bring back one that's wandered away from the truth it's all because of love wait a minute i told you if i go get it in the old and the new i ought to be able to pull it up in the old as well bible say whoever covers an offense seeks love but he who repeats a matter separates close friends lord have mercy jesus you mean to tell me everybody in the church are not friends one or another no because we even throw out i can love you but i don't have to like you oh i got an answer for you i got an answer for you i got an answer for you because see if you love you won't deal with about liking one another it's the fact that god wants us to love one another wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute i knew i knew it i knew it i knew it something told me going and put it up there but i said now now they're going to remember this one in john chapter 13 verse 34 and 35 jesus said a new commandment that i give unto you that you love one another as i have loved you oh wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute you mean to tell me i got to love him like you loved him you mean to tell me i gotta love her like you love her yeah that means you got to remove yourself from the picture see if you remove yourself from the picture you'll do better doing the way the lord said do it because when you do it the way the lord said do it that makes you a slave to obedience that means that you're trying to become an heir not just be a son but you're trying to become an heir i'm just trying to show you the different problems the different struggles within the church of galatia so i can come back and work with the scene the scene is important because see so often we think that the world before didn't understand i believe the world now don't understand and we're not careful the world and the future will not understand i believe that we need to work on the fact to see the value of love if we can see the value of love we can overcome these struggles if we can see the value of love we can see the scene and we can shout hallelujah if we could just see and we can understand the love we can find out the spiritual and then we can shop hallelujah two times but wait a minute the problem is the problem is there it's right here paul said brothers if anyone is caught in any transgression you who are spiritual should restore him to the spirit of gentleness why keep watching yourself lest you also be tempted i say let's just see how the devil didn't want you to see it i put it up there twice i just want you to see it because it's needful that you just see it what you mean let us just see the spirituality and see if we can see whether or not we're spiritual you know how sometimes you can show somebody their problems but you can't look at your own lord behave i'm trying i'm trying so hard i every night and i tell y'all i tell y'all see sometimes i'm making it up in my mind i'm just going to preach what's here and and then and then the law gets to work in with me and and and and when the law get to working i have to just just just just be flawed just be flawed because the spirit is working and that's why i say so often we just don't see so i say let let us just say and you didn't get it that time let us just say it's about letting us just see see if you will spend time working on self the way you like to work on somebody else oh floyd's flawed stop then you can see the importance of spirituality i'm talking to someone this morning the need to come out of darkness into the marvelous light to come out of darkness you must go to the watery grave peter says the baptism now does save us it's not the washing away of the filth of the flesh but it's an answer of a good conscience to the resurrection of jesus christ paul says for his men has been baptized into christ part of christ then he says in second corinthians 5 verse number 17 therefore if any man be in christ all man has passed away behold all things become new don't you want to be new in the eyesight of god i told you when this pandemic started one of the things that we really wanted to emphasize on wednesday night was this that which is born of the flesh is flesh but that which is born of the spirit is spirit this is jesus in john three verse number six so in verse number seven he said marvel not that i say that a man must be born again somebody that's listening this morning need to be born again and we're here for you because we understand that you sit there longer you sit down the devil can sear your conscience tell him he's already tried to smear your reputation but the devil can still that jesus can still use you in the service when he's trying to sear your conscience jesus can convert you that you can serve him and when satan tried to seize your salvation jesus said i've already secured it i went i went to the hadean world for you and i brought back the keys in other words jesus says i have the authority over death and the grave you need to understand what he did he did for us and we ought to be excited this morning you know what we ought to be past excited you ought to just hit on the chat box you ought to shout hallelujah if it had not been for jesus hallelujah and you ought to tell folks i'm alive because the lord desires me to be alive and you that are not a member of the church that jesus purchased with his own precious blood i call it by name church of christ that's why i thank god for not only the holy spirit but i thank god for the church that jesus purchased the church of christ and i'm gonna preach it and teach it until i can't preach it and teach it anymore and i'm gonna try to help others to see the importance of staying in the church my friend told me friday he said floyd he said i got to the point now i i don't want to fight with these brothers he's all i want to do is save the save save those that are lost and keep the save saved i said but preacher every night and then he's a flawed you're not going to change these men he said some men just lazy regardless some men want the title but they don't want to do the work i said boy you need to quit that he's something they're telling you the truth and he said floyd you've been preaching over 30 some years do you not already know that and i go boy you need to stop joel you know i'm talking to you i gonna call you by name you know i love him though certainly every night and then we got to call out those evil ones and let the lord know we are fighting for him and for his kingdom we that are members of the body of christ we think some wrong thoughts and we do some wrong things we say some wrong things john says that we ought to confess our transgressions and he's just and faithful to forgive us of all of our transgressions somebody shout hallelujah again and if you say that you have not sinned you make him a liar lord help us jesus help us lord help us
