praise in jesus holy precious name amen [Music] good night church tonight's lesson is taken from exodus 33 reading from verse 13 to 23. now therefore i pray thee if i have found grace in thy sight show me now thy way that i may know thee that i am that i may find grace in thy sight and consider that this nation is thy people and he said my presence shall go with thee and i will go with the rest and he said unto him if thy present go not with me carry us not upheld for wherein shall it be known here that i and the people have found grace in thy sight is it not in that don't voice with us so shall we be separated i and thy people from all the people that are upon the face of the earth and the lord said unto moses i will do this thing also that thou has spoken for thou has found grace in my sight and i know thee by name and he said i beseech thee show me thy glory and he said i will make all my goodness pass before thee and i will proclaim the name of the lord before thee and will be gracious to whom i will be gracious and will show mercy on whom i will show mercy and he said thou canst not see my face for there shall no man see me and live and the lord said behold there is a place for me and thou shalt stand upon a rock and it shall come to pass while my glory passes by that i will put thee in a clip of the rock and will cover thee with my hand while i pass by 23 and ending and i will take away my hand and thou shalt see my back parts but my face shall not be seen this is the word of the lord we honor it by saying glory be to the father and to the son and to the holy ghost as it was in the beginning it is now and ever shall be world without and amen we give god thanks for the prayer by brother barrett and for that wonderful reading by sister vinet peterkin farkasen welcome one and all to those online as well and those who are coming in to deliverance center we give god thanks that he has spirit our lives another day i just ask you to stand that we're just gonna do three hallelujahs to the king of kings and the lord of lords if god was standing right here in front of you how would you give him that hallelujah where the lord is present no and we don't want to give him a half-hearted quarter-hearted three-quarter-hearted we want to give him a hundred and ten percent hallelujah so we're going to give him three hallelujahs after two one two hallelujah two hallelujah three hallelujah amen amen you may be seated as i said before we are at deliverance center and you know a name is very important we were born with one name but i was researching and i saw where the lord has over names and it's interesting we come to church we know our faces but we don't know our name so at this time i'm gonna ask you to turn around and if you know your neighbor's name then that's fine but if you don't know your neighbor's name just whisper to your neighbor behind you or in front of you or beside you what is your name and from now on you'll be able to address your neighbor by name and i see some people collecting a whole lot of names that's good we have to get our practice now because when we get to heaven there's going to be millions and

to the book of revelation chapter 2. oh bless the name of god thank you jesus verses one through to seven and i'll be reading from the king james virgin unto the angel of the church of ephesus wright these things saith he that hold at the seven stars in his right hand who walk it in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks i know thy works and thy labor under thy patience and how thou canst not bear them which are evil and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles and are not and hast found them liars and asked born and asked patience and for my name's sake has labored and asked not fainted nevertheless i have somewhat against thee because thou hast left thy first love remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the first works or else i will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy candlestick out of his place except thou repent verse 6 and 7 but this thou hast that thou hate us the deeds of the nicolasians which i also hate he that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches to him that overcome it will i give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of god somebody praise almighty god the word of god we say father i stand behind the sacred preaching desk for to declare your words to the hearts of your people i pray for an anointing that will rest upon me oh god so i will so that i will effectively oh god deliver your word as you would have me tonight probably father that you will use me for your glory your word is already blessed and so heavenly father as it goes forth it will bring for change oh god conviction oh god give hope and inspire the believers in jesus name somebody praise god somebody praise god hallelujah my brothers and sisters permit me to speak to us tonight on the topic it is a divine call it's a divine call my brothers and sisters the contents of revelation 2 are small letters to four churches dictated by jesus to john ephesus and smyrna were coastal cities whereas pergamum and were inland cities three more such letters are in revelation chapter three each of these messages contains a unique description of jesus a command and a promise or somebody praise god i say each of the letters spend in revelation chapter 2 to chapter 3 to the seven churches in asia minor each of the letters have a description of jesus's command and the promise all but one the church in ladicia receive some commendation oh hallelujah all but two of the seven letters those to the churches in smyrna and philadelphia also contained a critical rebuke like churches today most of the congregations addressed by jesus had both good characteristics and at least one point which needed correction did i say something here yes i need to repeat like churches today most of the congregations addressed by jesus had both good characteristics and at least one point which needed correction there's no perfect church oh oh hallelujah revelation 2 1 to 7 is the first letter jesus dictated to john intended for the church at ephesus this congregation in ephesus is praised for patient endurance and for rightly uh rejecting false apostles oh yes despite such an excellent beginning however ephesus had abandoned its first love oh hallelujah come on somebody i said they got an excellent hallelujah commendation but guess what they had abandoned their first love hallelujah they were drifting into coldness our god almighty jesus instructs the church to remember its early days repent and conduct itself as it had done initially somebody praise god he promises a reward to the victor somebody praise god the letters to the seven churches share a similar structure they each feature listen an address to a particular congregation an introduction of jesus each letter has a statement regarding the condition of the church each letter had a verdict from jesus regarding the condition of the church each letter carried a command or carries the command from jesus to the church each letter carries a general exaltation of all christians to all christians and each letter also carries a promise of reward somebody praise god my brothers and sisters jesus is letter to the church at ephesus it says in verses 1 8 says it is to the angel of the church of ephesus right the character of the city of ephesus is being described as discussed in under revelation 1 20 this angel may be the pastor of the church at ephesus or an angel looking on the workings of the church at ephesus in some way this angel represents this church but the letter isn't written just to the representative but it is written to the whole church somebody praise god ephesus this was a famous city in the ancient world with an equally famous church paul ministered in this same ephesus for three years according to acts 19 1 acts 19 10 and acts 20 verses 31 aquila and the priscilla with apollo served at this church according to acts 18 24-28 paul's close associate timothy according to first timothy 1 3 he also worked in this church according to strong and consistent historic tradition the apostle john also ministered there oh somebody am i talking to the church surely it was a place of great privilege of great preaching says brother robertson a bible commentator he says what this place this church was a place of great privilege and great preaching took place there because when you look at the pastors or the elders so to speak that served at this church you realize that there were no hurry come up and play in jamaican time they were trained anointed god called god sent men and women am i talking to the people of god ephesus this great city was also world famous as a religious cultural and economic center of the region ephesus had the notable temple of diana my god somebody better come with me tonight i said ephesus though it have had great preachers anointed preachers god sent preachers it had the notable temple of diana and it is a fertility goddess diana is a fertility goddess worshiped with immoral sex this tremendous temple to diana in ephesus was regarded as one of the several wonders of the ancient world it was supported by 127 pillars each pillar was about 60 feet tall and it was adorned with great sculptures oh god almighty my brothers and sisters also the temple of artemis was also a major treasury and bank of the ancient world where merchants kings and even cities lord god made deposits and where their money could be kept safe under the protection of deity according to a commentary on the book of acts ephesus was a stronghold for satan somebody praised god as the ephesus was a stronghold of satan here in ephesus many evil things both superstitious and satanic were practiced books containing formula for sorcery and other ungodly and forbidden arts were plentiful in the book of uh in the in the city of ephesus my god not an easy city am i making any sense to you here tonight my brothers and sisters it is quite important and relevant that i bring out all these information regarding the place of ephesus so we can see why jesus had was to pen a letter like this to the people in ephesus am i talking to the church my brothers and sisters ah god he describes having written to the church and he says to the angel of the church in ephesus jesus describes himself to the church at ephesus somebody praise god he says listen man i am writing to you and just in case you need to know who is writing to you he says he he who holds the seven stars in his right hand he who walks in the midst of the golden lamp stands our god these images are taken from john's vision in revelation 1 they emphasize the authority of jesus in the church he said he holds the seven stars and his immediate presence in the church he walks in the midst of the seven golden stand lampstands this introduction stresses that jesus is central to the church and should be recognized as the of god almighty somebody help me here my brothers and sisters the word holds this is the ancient greek word creatine help me bishop lord he's not your greek teacher you know our god don't kill me for the pronunciation ah this is the ancient greek word creatine and it's an emphatic and complete word jesus has this church and holds them securely the churches belong to jesus oh god somebody help me here so when he said he holds the church that means he's saying the church belonged to me oh god there are some persons who think that they own the church hallelujah you bought the first time you were here when it was preached out lord god your grandmother grandfather donated the property you have been the longest serving member you have been the strongest tither in the church but an official church now for me church a god church you don't want me preaching i'm not staying alone tonight so you don't need to look at me with that tone of voice somebody help me in here i said god church it doesn't matter if you bought the chair like past and the guest speaker is sitting on take it up and go on but a god church somebody help me here it doesn't matter if you are the one who bought the multimedia projector take it and go on a god church and god church cannot lift embarrassed or disappointed god of a man god of a woman god have a word oh god almighty somebody help me a little bit down here [Music] so there are some of us you see who think that we can blighted in clarendon terminology think that we can blighted and sabotage the church look at us too come on uh somebody a god church and he said to peter you know enough you know peter you're ta much but what you have just said hello man it's the right answer i'm searching for peter said peter said toward the crisis of peter because you have answered me with such boldness i gather with such clarity our god almighty flesh and blood did not reveal it unto you but it must be my father so we can open that truth i say to you peter open this rock i build my church and the gates of hell [Music] somebody praise almighty god look at your neighbor from a distance as we have been doing ever since and said neighbor a jesus church a god church we are only occupying until he comes somebody praise god the churches belong to jesus not to the leaders of the church if it was our church lord god bishop couldn't transfer me and he to move you from italy and for your church come on somebody but because it's not our church a god church we are humbled at this direction we are humbled at this guidance oh you better hear me a little bit please the churches belong to jesus not to the leaders of the churches neither do the people [Music] neither to the people so although we call conferences and whole conferences to discuss certain matters of the church and it is said it is the highest decision-making arm of any local church i just say without the membership certain things can't go on and certain decisions cannot be taken and officers and councilmen cannot be elected without the the full um uh support bucket even endorsement of the church come on now somebody we still must realize that i love you richard a god church musician gone tonight and never liked me from last night said i'm gone tonight somebody help me here tonight he holds them somebody talked to me somebody talked to me god said he says this is me oh god somebody talk back to me what jesus saw jesus says listen me man i am right into the angels of the seven churches and to the church and they say who is writing he said it is me who who only seven lamb stands and he says what was he writing about what was he writing about and there were christians in ephesus christians who sat down under the teaching and preaching a people like apollos priscilla and aquila john timothy what could jesus be writing to this church about this church must be a safe set of people come on somebody but jesus said to the church i know your works bishop you don't know everybody works up here because some people work well here but by the time they go around you are winding him attack not gonna get let me don't mush it up bless you and jesus said i know your works and when jesus says he knows our works that's very important not everybody there are times when you're doing your work and the person who super supervises your department doesn't even see the work that you're doing but jesus says i know your works he didn't send anybody tell me on the doctor german i was looking for you but that's here you know i know you're not leaving me come on somebody help me he said i know your works jesus said say michael told me or gabriel told me or something angels to me he says i know your works jesus looked at his church and he knew the condition it was no mystery to him there may be sin or corruption hidden in a congregation but it is not hidden to jesus oh god somebody help me through here tonight i say sin or corruption may be hidden in a congregation a god almighty [Music] god almighty [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Music] somebody shall [Music] somebody help me here somebody help me here good god almighty the church must still be the church hallelujah where sin is being revealed a god almighty and corruption has been exposed you can't sin too much a god with fancy soprano an altar and think that that can disguise your corrupt actors [Music] that it hides our cover the consistent wobbling and dabbling in sinful practices and come inside a holy church and take sanctified scenarios a microphone and sing and testify and expect [Music] i wanna move i wanna move on but holy ghost somebody show daddy [Music] somebody showed hallelujah sin may be hidden in a congregation sometimes you think that pastor don't see it [Music] but jesus sees it anything done in secret shut up you know there are some people sister clark dr clark were of the belief that the church has reached to a stage where she is now accepting all anything [Music] [Laughter] [Music] look at your neighbors holiness is still [Music] god's standard for his people somebody showed hallelujah somebody showed hallelujah so he would say the same thing to us today both as individual and as a congregation i know your works he says i know your works your labor and your patience jesus knew that what this church did right they worked hard for the lord and they had godly endurance patience is the great ancient greek word who pomona doctor here say you must help me after i'm gone call me before i pronounce it right well i get that passing good dear sister clark right teacher yes so you give me a star or a smiley face which means steadfast endurance so in this sense the church in ephesus was solid as a rock so to speak come on now somebody sally that's a rock you cannot bear those who are evil that's what jesus said to the church he says i know your works i know your labor i know your patience come on somebody and you cannot bear those who are evil the ephesian church pursue doctrinal purity paul warned the ephesians in acts 20 29-31 for i know this that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you not spear in the flock also from among yourselves men will rise up speaking perverse things to draw away the disciples after themselves therefore watch and remember that for three years i did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears says the apostle from this commendation of jesus we know that the ephesians took paul's warning seriously the church today like the ephesian church then must vigorously test those who claim to be messengers up from god especially those who say they are apostles those who classify themselves as self-proclaimed prophets telling evangelists because deceivers will speak well of themselves the greater the evil the more deceptive its cloak [Music] oh god almighty somebody help me here my brothers and sisters let me tell you as an evangelist and as an ordained minister new audience bishop i remembered i got my exalters lice from bishop bishop bronzing officer one of those and it was bishop bishop park who presented me when i was audience minister uh another pastor when i was i didn't bishop it was doctor clark who presented i have the certain i have the picture you know so therefore i i was not self proclaimed or appointed come on some that simple means somebody appoint me there are some people who are persons who are going around sister clark calling themselves prophet and apostles and nobody never anoint them or appoint them i don't know how you get that come on somebody you cannot just rise up and call yourself prophet an apostle when you weren't anointed or appointed let's go back to the bible and i hope that this scripture is quite relevant and applicable because he said there was a man after saul feel god god called samuel and he said come here man let me down go down to rama look among jesse's son and you will find somebody who can replace her soul come on love somebody he went down and he says that david the long answer david was chosen david was anointed and it was some several years after before david was appointed come on somebody help me here when you look at elisha lord god elisha was in his field using up his axe and elijah under the anointing pass and licking with the monk i said come on god almighty he said hollande let me go back and burn this stuff and kill this stuff and feed the people and just run on with you come on somebody let's anointing an appointment we cannot just get up on the point of ourselves but come on you could don't see me and how about we get called and gone wait until we are called by god and anointed and appointed by god do not appoint ourselves when we appoint ourselves we make trouble in our church we bring this grace and embarrassment to the gospel [Music] somebody help me here am i talking anything right in this house said if he junctured then must rigorously test those who claim to be messengers from god especially those who say they are apostles self-proclaimed prophets can i warn the new testament church of god the 370 of churches that are our own test those who you invite to command those fastings and deliverance services that some of us like to run up and down and leave your own fasting tab out you look fire what you see is what you get is these evangelists come tonight they say no we have no jacket somebody help me here tonight there are some persons who are running leave their own fastings at church on sunday morning they're they are looking forward and they are looking for fire and run to some of these prophets with their steel food see a message 20 years ago come back with it every sunday every meeting is the same word am i talking to you sit down at the feet of jesus come on now somebody don't run leave your congregation oh god i might leave your own space running on fire you will pick up [Music] not you don't get offended church this was grand of them it showed a backbone of truth i wish some of the churches of this age had a little of this holy decision about them for nowadays if a man be clever he may preach the violence lie that were that was ever vomited from the mouth of hell and it will go down with some said charles persian at my words the prince of preacher charles persian says that if a man be clever he may preach the vilest lie that was ever vomited from the mouth of hell and it will go down well with some let me say it church as i get down to list three things that i will cover as the holy ghost would have me if i should go through them you have persevered and said jesus christ and have patience and have labored for my name's sake and have not become weary also the ephesian church continued doing things these things without becoming weary they showed a godly perseverance that we should imitate by all outward appearances this was a solid church that worked hard had great outreach ministries and protected the integrity of the gospel but what did jesus had to say against the church nevertheless come no church of god oh god almighty somebody help me here nevertheless i have this against you that you have left your first love come on somebody help me here nevertheless i have this against you jesus used a sobering word madam principle a sobering word nevertheless which means despite all that come on now somebody help me here despite all that being a church that work hard have good ministry programs have everything going but guess what something is wrong despite all that jesus took into full account all the good in the ephesian church yet despite all that he had something against them you have left your first love despite all the good in ephesians church there's something seriously wrong they have left not last you know i'm gonna preach it here dr clark is one of my mentors i have to preach like how he would have wanted me to under the leading or the holy ghost he says they have left so can i preach and teach a little bit though might not be like some but i try every now and then they have left watch it now not lost you know their first love they once had a love that they don't have anymore this can be described as a definite and sad departure somebody help me here the distinction between leaving and losing is important something can be lost hello quite by accident but leaving is a deliberate act come on somebody though it may not happen suddenly as well when we lose something we don't know where to find it but when we leave something we know where to find it so the call from jesus to the church in ephesus saints was for them to return to their first love it can be retrieved it isn't lost somebody praise god am i making any sense here have i left anything with you already so jesus was saying to the church you have left your first love and you know where to find it go back you have not lost it and go back for it somebody help me here somebody praise god so it's a divine call for one to remember two it's a divine call to repent and three there's it's a divine call that when you repent there's a reward sounds like i find three good points right kelly this is a call to reflect so the first one firstly it's a divine call to remember and for those who don't like the word remember recall for those who don't like the word recall reflect somebody help me here this is a call to reflect to go back and recall the past somebody praise god the savior is saying remember the way it used to be in your relationship with me come on somebody undoubtedly the process of looking back is also a call to recognize one's true condition we can't very well confess sin if we don't clearly see it for what it is oh somebody help me here remember therefore from where you have fallen somebody help me preach in this house the first step in restoration for the ephesian church is for them to remember somebody praise god they need to remember from where they were falling this means remembering where they used to be in their love for the lord and for one another somebody praised god when the prodigal son was in the peak pain according to the parable told by jesus the first step in restoration was remembering somebody [Music] was remembering what life was like back in his father's home luke 15 17-19 this is always the first step in getting back to where we should be with the lord remembering our fallen is the perfect tense somebody praise god he said remember where you have fallen and it is a perfect tense in the greek it looks at a completed act with existing results a state and not a process somebody praise god we are in a falling condition we are out of fellowship and working in the energy of the flesh somebody praise god i hear sister hepburn sung so awfully roll back the curtains but memories now and then show me where you have brought me from and where i could have been remember i am human and human can forget so remind me remind me dear lord somebody shout hallelujah somebody show glory our god jesus was said remember how you used to spend time in the world reading it dearly eager to be in bible study early for sunday school meditation was regularly done remember how you used to pray for minutes passionately persistently and powerfully come on somebody i said there were some prayers that used to go up from the church they were passionate they were persistent and they were powerful we say remember the joy in getting together with other christians once christians had a sense of joy when it comes to the time of coming together with one another when couldn't wait there was a time when dr germans and many others inside here you could not wait for friday evening because you want to go on young people's endeavor you're going to wait for wednesday night because you'll practice your testimony while you leave church sunday so as soon as wednesday evening come you're early for church because you've been practicing your testimony as a young christian now we get caesar god deliver we or we don't even want to testify because we get so sophisticated we get so nice we can do proper so i can't talk about where i'm coming from where i'm coming from i don't want nobody to know when i come to tell the whole world a form here come from i

showed hallelujah somebody shouted hallelujah look at your name and point don't say remember where you coming from remember how things used to be oh god almighty somebody help me in this house remember where the church coming from when some persons have to light back the torch from their homes and walk with it to give light in the church remember the benches that were made of bamboo and chichi and when you sit down every part it reel up but you're still cold somebody help me here remember the deers you couldn't buy genie floyd polish you have to use wack lander bio ducks walks and wax the floor that summer bus was supreme proper can't have nice lifestyle to be running up and down somebody somebody remember where we are coming from and where we have reached somebody don't pop style and god as i run on i call us to remember recall where we are coming from remember the love that we had for one another [Music] remember my grandmother sent me say run go over miss them go and borrow taylor simmer white straw hat because she's going out on church trip i miss then we'll take it down and put it in a scandal bag and she said run back to son run carrick give your grandmother and she would go before the mirror and fit it and gone to convention because guess what the love was strong for one another come on now somebody help me here so jesus call them ephesus church remember the love that you had for one another remember the first love how you started out somebody showed hallelujah remember their love excitement and passion when they first came to christ this in turn would motivate them to be renewed to that again somebody praise god dr germain some of you didn't know me when i was a little bit rougher than this thank god for cadian she spent a good amount of work on me and some pastors like dr clark and bishop sean some others who helped to straight me up and say it was really rough somebody helped me here was really rough i'm coming from fire somebody said look at your neighbor say far in the countryside for for those in the kingston area who speak properly you say i'm coming from a distance it's quite a distance i'm coming from you know but for me i can't say that where come from my god in kabul we sang a lord mighty language look where you brought me from mighty language somebody praise god somebody shout hallelujah this place coming up and preaching and driving like this i'm coming from far i remember i preached at a church and i had to walk from sunday night right back to sunday night only saturday night and every night i had to carry our shoes leave it at the riverside and cross and go over when i finish preach i come back put on my shoes and gone against six nights straight at work preach at a triumphant church it was a new testamental triumphant church as a youngster when i just coming up and god saw something in me and i walked and i preached and this is not a myth i know somebody testimony because as a preacher i mean i'll tell people testimony my own experience somebody help me here recall remember come on somebody i remember in those days when i preached and i had an old mark two cressida the trunk could not lock hello somebody and there were times when i was preaching and sometime when i finished preaching sometime uh when i was heading out it was like after 10 after eleven and sometime kden and i we're not reaching home until two three o'clock because that mark twas stop all three four times come on somebody help me here and sometimes she would say fly the boot honey fly the bonnet i say you don't know what you're going on there to look at she said fly it man and try start it again ministry you know somebody help me here ministry so i have to recall somebody praise god every now and then we have to roll back the curtains somebody held me knees with paco [Music] and see tonight i have moved from that and i cannot tell you my testimony it was at poros i reached one night coming from deep clarendon yes nearing my time now you don't have to sleep on me get come on somebody hear me it was from clarion that i'm coming for and when i reached poorest young people who sung your son so well hear what hear what he if he could break down right at matli's sister laugh after i know you're just hear me church right at my ears so guess what i came out the vehicle and i just walked over matli's fence and she said honey where you going my security shoot yo and i walk over here there and i just walk over the fence and i just point at one of the cars and say you in the name of jesus i want you i said god that is mine i'm tired of this embarrassment i'm doing ministry for you and if you call me and send me oh god equip me if god called you is going to equip you if god called you god is going to give you the resources i'm not talking to you here if god called you don't worry he will not disappoint he will not let you know he's gonna give you what you need you don't have to go to the devil for help [Music] hallelujah that's a strong statement if god called you and when god called you don't have to go to egypt for help he has all the resources from i did that thank god i'm driving in style come on somebody's the blessings of god somebody help me here tonight somebody help me here so it's a divine call to remember remember and then secondly it's a call for us for the church to repent not only repent but it's a repentant return repent is the greek word mata noah the word means to change the mind or purpose to change one's decision it means to recognize one's previous decision opinion or condition as wrong and to accept and move forward a new and right path in its place the verb is in the everest tensed tense in the greek which may look at a single decisive act rep thank you sir repentance includes confession of sin with a view to stop the bad behavior so it can be replaced with what was right somebody praise god so repent this is not a command to feel sorry or really to feel anything it means to change your direction to go a different way it isn't an urgent appeal for instance of change of attitude and conduct before it is too late it is an urgent sorry appeal for instant change of attitude and conduct before it is too late so it says repent return and do the first work this means they must go back to the basics to the very first things they did when your first love fell in love with jesus these are the things that we never go beyond or else he says i will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place jesus gave them a stern warning he says unless they repent he will remove their light and his presence when their lampstand was removed they could continue as an organization but no longer as a true church of jesus christ come on somebody am i talking to the people of god it would be the church like the church sister clark of ichabod where the glory had departed oh god somebody help me here a final exaltation in chapter 278 he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches this is a loving call to hear what the holy spirit is teaching in these seven churches seven messages we are not to merely look at these from an academic or scholarly perspective and argue about if they were intended as a prophetic or not come on somebody instead we are to listen under the leading of the holy spirit we have to examine ourselves somebody praise god i hear the psalmist in psalm 139 23-24 says search me o god and know my heart try me and know my thoughts see if there be any grievous way in me and lead me in the way everlasting somebody praise god said jesus call on the people of ephesus he says remember your first love remember how you love me remember how you love one another remember the things that you did that uh pleased me and the things that satisfies me then he says as you remember and recall he says repent come on somebody there's a difference between repentance and confession come on somebody repentance is the change in attitude and behavior with a fully made-up mind of not going back to the bad but confession is just to accept it and talk about it one can confess and doesn't repent somebody help me here tonight confession and that's why some people come here to say oh pastor i am the one who removed the microphone and i should not have removed it first time removed it i i shouldn't have removed it and then next week the person comes back i removed the microphone the person had only confessed but didn't repent because if the person had repented they would not have come back to remove the microphone because there would have been a change in mind and attitude and behavior come on somebody what we need is repentance somebody praise god so jesus call at the church he said remember and repent and when you repent finally my third and final point there's a reward somebody praise god somebody praise god somebody praise god there's a reward for those who repent somebody praise god verse 7b because of the promised reward he said to him who overcomes i will give to eat shaco from the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of god he said to him who overcome jesus made this promise to him who overcomes but what does this overcomer overcome come on somebody we usually think of overcoming in dramatic terms of overcoming sin and in us and in spiritual warfare but here jesus seems to speak of overcoming of the coldness of heart and lack of love marked by leaving their first love somebody praise god it says for those who overcome oh hallelujah for those who remember and repent and return i will give to him or her oh god almighty to eat from the tree of life the promise for these overcomers was a return to eden a restoration and eternal life this was meant first in the eternal sense of making it to heaven which was no small promise to a church threatened with the removal of jesus's presence it is also meant in the sense of seeing the effects of the curse rolled back in our own lives though walking in jesus is redeemed love in the midst of paradise of god he says for those who repent originally the word paradise meant a garden of delight eventually it came to mean the place where god lives where god is that is paradise somebody praise god to the one who conquers he says i will grant to eat the tree of life in revelation god will reverse the curse that came about as a result of sin one effect of this curse was that people could not eat from the tree of life but one day all true believers will eat oh god almighty somebody help me here but first before we can eat and enjoy paradise we must conquer sin in revelation we see the battle between good and evil between god and satan we conquer him and everything he throws at us somebody praise god but we don't do it through our own strength oh hallelujah i think it is in revelation chapter 12 he says and they overcame him by the blood of the lord and by the word of their testimony overcame who that slew foot devil that old dragon that old serpent that old satan somebody praise almighty god somebody showed hallelujah our god i feel the holy ghost as i rock it down we conquer him and everything that he throws at us but we don't do it through our own strength it is only possible through jesus christ somebody shout hallelujah i said we can only conquer the devil and the works of the devil through jesus christ if we go in our own strength with our own intellect with our own ability we are going to be not cold somebody help me preachers are close here we are going to be knocked cold we are going to be rendered lord god powerless and useless but when we take the name of jesus with us oh god somebody help me here we can conquer any powers and works of the old devil i want to tell somebody that we have planted within us upon an anointing that god that no devil can defeat us for right here he says in saint luke behold i give you power somebody shouted hallelujah let me leave this with you somebody showed hallelujah we have power to conquer we don't have to live in sin the enticements and the attractions of the world our god cannot conquer us we have the power to conquer it somebody shout hallelujah somebody shout hallelujah hallelujah whatever the devil throws at us lord god almighty put on your armor pull out your sword and get ready to fight for you gotta let that devil know i'm not gonna die in sin he's not gonna conquer me ah somebody shout hallelujah [Music] ah somebody shout hallelujah somebody showed hallelujah it's a divine call to remember it's a divine call to repent and there's a reward for those who repent somebody praise god somebody praise god it's no thank you thank everyone that god is no perishable reward somebody praise god it's an unperishable reward it's a place in heaven he said let let your heart be troubled for he believe in god believe also in me he said in my father's house somebody preached like me like when i'm under the tent preaching me pray for me somebody showed hallelujah he said i go to prepare a place for you and if i go and prepare a place for you i will come again and receive you unto myself that where i am there you may be also where is god in paradise the reason why i'm living this life i don't want to be lost i want to inherit paradise somebody praise god the reason why i stand up and allow them to persecute me and i don't retaliate it's because he says blessed are he when men shall revile you persecute you say a manner of evil against you falsely for my name's sake rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great somebody said great great is your reward wishes in heaven my home is in heaven just waiting for me somebody praise god no rent to pay my jesus paid it payed it all for me somebody preaching me for 30 more seconds shout hallelujah show glory show glory there's a reward for the righteous there's a reward for the bloodbath come on to somebody sometimes they go and get rough sometimes the coins get tough sometimes you feel like giving up but i am determined to hold on somebody who lifts your hand pump your fist to the air and say i am determined to hold on somebody say hold on say hold on i get a word for somebody hold on it's rough but hold on weeping men do for a night but joy somebody said joy said there's a reward there's a reward there's a reward there's a crown laid up for them who love the lord and love is appearing somebody shout hallelujah when you repent and live for god heaven shall be your home somebody showed hallelujah don't sit don't show glory show glory show glory show glory shout hallelujah cheers everyone somebody said there's a reward unearthed man give a word man give plucks trophies and medals certificates and gift baskets but guess what god doesn't give away he gives reward and the reward that he gives our god almighty no rotten i master can destroy it somebody praise god it's not perishable it's a place for the weary it's a place for those who have labored it's a place for those who have walked the walk talk the talk shout hallelujah shout hallelujah shout glory say it's a divine call somebody says a call it's not a pastor's call it's a god's call it's not a leader call it's a god call god is calling somebody repent and accept the reward repent and receive the reward heaven is your reward somebody shout hallelujah can i preach a little bit i'm coming out of here look at your neighbor neighbor i feel like going on is there anybody feel like going on i feel like we know i think like gold we know let go [Music] [Music] can i borrow this one i feel like gold with all [Music] there's somebody in jamaica [Music] no [Music] hey [Music] let go [Music] strength [Music] [Applause] i feel like oh [Music] oh god i feel the holy ghost [Music] [Music] i feel like we know [Music] i am lord i feel listen to this can i say to the church in closing christ is constantly watching over not just the individual members of the church but its individual fellowships what and how we do and say matters to him true christianity is not a job but it's a relationship will the sins of the church in our times be overlooked because they've still fun missions programs and provide assistance to the needy oh no how do you compare yourself today to when you first became saved is
