word not only should we have fear over anxiety a prayer of anxiety faith of a fair belief he's giving you a word right now for where you are and I want to start this message in Matthew chapter 15 Matthew was a tax collector he worked a government job disconnected from the Commonwealth of Israel disconnected from the goodness of God Jesus saw him one day working at the tax collectors booth and he he said these words him he said come follow me Matthew made a decision that changed his whole life he would go on to minister with Jesus for three and a half years and he records this incident in Matthew chapter 15 Jesus has been traveling and preaching and then Matthew records this incident that happened in Matthew chapter 15 beginning in verse 21 he says leaving that place Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon and a Canaanite woman a woman separated from the Commonwealth of Israel she was from the vicinity and she came to him just like we need to come to him right now crying out Lord son of David have mercy on me my daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession Jesus did not answer her a word so his disciples came and they urged him they said man send her way she keeps crying out after us it's funny huh they included himself in the cry she was crying out for Jesus and then he said to her this words he said I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel then the woman came and she knelt down before him she said Lord help me she said and Jesus responded to when he said it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs she says yes Lord but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table then jesus answered her and she said woman you have great faith I like this next part right here I think there's so many of us all around this country we need we need to hear Jesus say these words to us your request is granted somebody just received that right where you are just your request is granted and her daughter was healed from that very hour just let me pray with you for just a seconds eternal garland of a wise father we humble ourselves right now in your presence we thank you Lord for this opportunity you've given us to

upon your people that you would draw us to yourself right now as we proclaim the truth of your word in Jesus name we pray let's all say together amen right where you are just put your hands together for just a second my victory family my own life family you know it was just about a couple weeks ago maybe even a month ago the headlines on our news spoke of a great division in our country between red states and blue states Republicans and Democrats between white people and black people and brown and Hispanic it was just a month ago all of the headlines talked about the great divide that's happening right now in our country and while those divides are still present it's still evident they've taken pretty much a backseat to a more serious problem that right now we're living in a season whether we realize it or not we are forcefully being united by a common threat by a common problem that right now what is uniting us all around this country it does not discriminate it has been treating everybody the same it does not discriminate against gender or race color ethnicity or background socioeconomic class right now whether we realize or not we are being forcefully United right now by a common enemy and a common threat that is changing our nation is changing our country in fact it's impacting the entire world as I talk to you right now wherever you are you and I are Hmong 400 million people that's been quarantined all across this nation under shelter and stay advisories from our governors from the Center for Disease Control from the White House as I'm talking to you right now the situation we're dealing with it has impacted our entire way of life it has thrown our financial markets into a state of volatility people have lost 401 K people have lost whole life savings people have lost millions of dollars it has placed a lot of jobs and jeopardy a lot of careers in jeopardy it's placed a lot of life savings in jeopardy whole industries as I'm talking to you right now is in jeopardy the entertainment industry is in jeopardy sports industry is in jeopardy the travel industry is in jeopardy all around this country people are losing jobs and trying to figure out how they're gonna make ends meet how they're gonna pay the bills how they're gonna take care of their family even the churches all around this country we have been jostled by what's happening right now in our nation our buildings are empty our pastures are streaming into your homes online from all across this country our health care system it is being overwhelmed and over and our families and our communities are being shaken and right now as I'm talking to you our loved ones have even lost their lives right now the atmosphere that we're living in in our country is what I've been calling a new normal because everything that we thought was normal has been completely shaken and we don't even know right now as I'm talking to you we don't even know what's gonna happen tomorrow on Monday we don't know we don't even know what's gonna happen this week right now as I'm talking to you you and I are living in what I call a new normal we have no idea when things will return back to the way that there was and what I'm speaking about right now is creating at fear an atmosphere that has caused us all to wrestle with something that is attacking us right now in our country and if it's not attacking you right now when your heart just trust me if you keep living you across this juncture at some point in your life right now there's a lot of people watching me all across the country there's maybe even people sitting in this studio right now who are dealing with what I call the weight of worry the weight of worry it comes on easily after questions like what are we gonna do about this now what am I gonna do with this report how am I gonna handle my finances what am I gonna do if I lose this what am I gonna do with things change how am I gonna handle this going forward what are we gonna do now that we lost this forum 1k we lost this thing in the market what are we gonna do now this family member is sick what are we gonna do now that our husband has lost his job my wife has lost her job it's a bunch of what if what will how are we going to make it and what really pushes us to a place of worry what really pushes us to feel worried in our heart it is the challenges that seem beyond our scope to handle and his problems that seem very daunting that we don't know how we're going to navigate those problems it's the needs that we feel like we're unsure how we're gonna meet those needs and while all those things are true I think that there is a deeper thing that pushes the human heart to worry it's the absence of a sense of control in the face of uncertainty or change we really start to feel worried when we lose a sense of control see and is when we can't control our circumstances is when the heart feels worried when I get that doctor report and I can't control the outcome I feel worried when I get that pink slip and I can't control what happens next I feel worried when things are being shaken all around I can't control what's her that's when the heart feels we can't control the spread of this virus and so we start to feel worried we can't control the volatility of the financial markets and so we start to feel worried we can't control the outcome of this diagnosis so we start to feel worried we can't even control the security of every aspect of our lives and so we start to feel worried and often time my heart and your heart is tempted to feel worried when we lose control of something that we no longer could get a grip on in our lives and the minute we as human beings lose control of something in the face of a new uncertainty or a challenge we start to feel worried and in the absence of that control in the absence of our well-being the heart is threatened by where we have all of us have felt worried every single person in the studio has felt worried every single person watching me we all at some point in time of our life we have felt that human emotion of worry and let me define worry for you worry is much deeper than than concerned because concern is healthy but what worried ill it really is it's a self-inflicted torment upon the mind that keeps pushing us to a place of constant mental anguish so there's a difference between concern and worry there's the difference between thinking about something wisely and worried and in the volatility of the environment and that we end right now a lot of us are being pushed beyond a place of concern we're being pushed to a place of worry when we are worried it impedes our ability to think soberly you can't think clearly when you're worried when we worried we make rash decisions because we move quickly sometimes we move with haste when we're worried when we worry man we carry things that we cannot change when we worry we'd be thinking about it all the time thinking about it all the time you can't do anything about it but it'd be wrestling us at night it wakes us up early in the morning we'd be thinking about it when we pull up to the light or seventy-five we get off the highway we pull up to life and then we lean against the window and our minds be tormented by that worry and we'd be thinking about something we can't change when we are worried and we have family members and we'll even frustrate the people around us because they got to deal with the emotional volatility of our feelings we can't eat we can't sleep we can't engage our children we're sitting in the room with the family but our mind is someplace else we're sitting in the room with the spouse but our mind is someplace else we're at the job but our mind is someplace else because even when we worry it affects people around us how do we deal with that worry sometimes we run two things that offer us a temporary relief so we like to medicate our worry now I'm gonna I'm gonna smoke away this worry I'm gonna I'm gonna drink away this worry I'm gonna get doped up to get rid of this worry but as soon as I come down from that high the worry is still there as soon as I hop out the bed the next morning the worry is still there and so we oftentimes try to medicate our worry we run too familiar vices some of us we overeat when we worried some of us we don't eat at all when we worried we keep running to all these things that eventually fail us when we're worried and ultimately when we worried what we're really doing is denying ourselves the best quality of life that God has given us because when you are worried you are robbed of quality of life you can't think straight you can't function straight you can't even enjoy what God is doing around you when you are worried now let me say this for all of us let me put this out there I'm not trying to knock you that hard family because I too have felt worried worried is absolutely normal it is a human emotion but how should you and I handle worry I want to show you something from this text that I read to you in this message of 100% sure proof way to handle worry when it comes to your mind and my money so in this passage that I read to you we see a family that was rocked by a medical and spiritual crisis see you can't make light of that when you just read over the scriptures we see a family that was rocked by a medical and spiritual crisis we see the peace of a loving mother being snatched from her as she's up ended by the spiritual condition of her daughter we know from the text that this is a crisis that has taken a great toll on this woman because she cries out to the Lord she says Lord son of David have mercy on me she said my daughter is suffering watch this word terribly from demon-possession so think about this family this woman's cry is a sign of a person who's worried she's worried about the medical and spiritual state of her daughter think about this who is probably she's mentally and emotionally tormented by the state of her child I want to ask you a question how long was she battling with that situation with her child how long has her child been demon-possessed how many nights has that kept her up without sleep how many tears has she shed over the state of her child how often has she looked at her child dealing with that demon and said to herself man I can't even help my own daughter how long has she felt homeless or helpless how long has she felt like I can't do anything about this what about her husband he's not even mentioned in the text did he leave did they go through a divorce because of what was happening with this child was the emotional trauma of the child too much for him to handle did he jump ship did he abandon the family how long was she wrestling with this by herself how long did she go to sleep at night and up and I think a man is my daughter ever gonna get healed from this situation how many people did she go to looking for help that could not help her how many of her little false gods and false idols does she pull out pray into them and they had no power to help her how many doctors did she see to no avail how much money did she spend to no avail how many places did she run to trying to help her daughter all of it to no avail I'm saying to how tired was this woman by the time she came to see the Lord Jesus Christ she was worried she was tired she was frustrated and her family was in a crisis but people she is she's not a Jew she's a Canaanite woman so she's disconnected from the Commonwealth of Israel she's disconnected from the Commonwealth of God Almighty in fact watch she don't even have no business being in the presence of Jesus she is quote/unquote unworthy to be in the presence of the Lord would this be the story of her life that she would spend the rest of her life dealing with this medical and spiritual crisis that she's found her family in is this gonna be her story is this gonna be the end how much longer is she gonna be dealing with this trauma and this problem the scripture says these powerful words that she was crying out to Jesus for help now when I read that I think to myself about all the times I've cried out to Jesus for help think about all the times you've cried out to Jesus for help where was you emotionally when you were crying out where was you mentally when you were crying out when I look back on some of the times I've cried out to Jesus for help it's been at times when I felt like I was at the end of my rope it was at times when I feel like I did not know what to do it was times when I could be honest I was tired I was weary I was frustrated I was worried I felt like in this moment there is nobody who can help me except the Lord well she cries out to Jesus for help and that Jesus did not answer her a word the scripture says so the disciples came and they urged him send him away it's crazy to me how the disciples didn't even have enough compassion to see that this woman's need you know and I think about all of us who are ministry men who don't even have the compassion to understand that what we're doing is more about lights and music and cameras it's about people sidenote man if you're not about people you shouldn't even be in ministry don't send me no DMS and don't send me no hate speech if it's not about people we shouldn't even be in this to begin with if it's all about money if it's all about glory or fame man we shouldn't even be in this to begin with and I just find it awkward that man the followers of Jesus don't even have enough compassion to see that this woman is in need you know this also reminds me that sometimes for those of us who are in ministry we got to learn how to slow down long enough from just working to realizing there are people all around us who need help cuz we could be so busy working in the ministry that we forget about the ministry we can be so busy doing God's work that we forget to minister to God's people I'm preaching to you right now wherever you are for all of us who want ministry we could be so busy doing God's work that we forget to minister to God's people it becomes just about a camera just about an instrument just about a microphone just about a platform we could get so busy just doing the work of the Lord that we forget about the people of the Lord and you said they didn't even show this woman any compassion and I like what Jesus said to him verse 24 he answered and he said to her he said you'll fall back from your response from your cry fall back he said to her this is the Philip Anthony Mitchell translation family right right this is the Philip Anthony Mitchell translation he said to her he said he said he said fall back I wasn't sent to you he said he said I was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel in other words I didn't come for you first woman I came for the Jews first watch and the Lord wasn't trying to diss her but everybody watch eye contact he was really trying to test her he really wanted to see where her faith was so he said - I hear requests but I didn't come for you I came for the Jews first and what this woman does next in principle is engaged in something that worry cannot penetrate let me let me say this to you again everybody look right at me wherever you want what this woman will do next in principle would be to engage in something that listen to me worry cannot penetrate that is when this is happening where we can't get past it when this is happening worry is no match for it when this is happening where we can't even stay in the atmosphere where this is happening verse 25 the scripture says the woman came to Jesus and she knelt down before him and she said Lord helped me so I want you to notice this she knelt before him so what she comes worried and she kneel I'm gonna help you with this family she comes worried and she kneels she comes into the presence of the Lord worried and she kneels that kneeling was what I call an act of worship she worshiped the Lord when she came to him worried she postured herself in humility and homage wants before the only one that can do something about her problem the government cannot fix all of our problems our friends cannot fix all of our problems our family members cannot fix all of our problems but she worshiped the only one that had the power to fix what she was going through she postured herself in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ what is your posture right now before the Lord is it a posture of arrogance is it a posture of pride is it a posture of I can figure this out on my own how long have you been worried about this problem and have not consulted the Lord Jesus Christ and so she postured herself before the Lord and it's in times like this we need to learn how much to exalt God above our problems family we need to exalt him with our mouths we need to exalt him with our actions we need to exalt him with our hearts because listen to me you cannot worship and worry at the same time come on I thought I could get some help in my studio did you hear what I just said you cannot worship and worry at the same time what it's impossible to truly worship and worry at the same time it is not humanly possible it is not spiritually possible it is not emotionally possible to be engaged in pure worship and worry at the same time because worship will always overpower worry every single time worry is no match for worship worry is no match for worship because when the atmosphere of God feels a place your mind doesn't even have time to worry it shrinks all your problems down until they mean nothing because worry is no match for worship watch she believed in him how do we know that verse 26 he replied I like this part oh my god listen to me family she said he said it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs so Jesus is saying hey I hear your crest but it's not right for me to take my pal when everything that I have and give it to you first because the Jews would refer to people where she was from as dogs because she was a Canaanite so he said wash this is so powerful oh my god it's not right for me to take the power that belonged to the Jews first and give it to you cuz you are Canaan that woman you're a dog it's not right to give it to you now watch in this moment she could have left in this moment she could have she could have just left but washes the scripture never said she got off her knees so she's still in a posture of worship and watch what she says yes Lord but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table that is she said Lord I know I'm not worthy I know I don't deserve it but I'm worshiping you because I believe in you I've come to you because I believe in you I'm kneeling in your presence because I believe in you and watch I don't even need the whole loaf I just need a piece of the loaf she says I don't even need the whole loaf I just need a piece of the loaf why cuz the same ingredients that's in the loafers in the crumb I don't even need the whole loaf Jesus I just need a piece of the loaf I don't even need you to meet everything I just need you to meet me right here right now right where I am because sometimes we don't even need the whole loaf we just need a crumb god I don't even need you to fix everything I just need you to fix me right now even if you can't give me the whole bread the whole bread might be a new job and a new crib the whole bread might be fix my the whole I don't sometimes we don't even need the whole bread sometimes we just need a little crumb sometimes we just need enough just to change our perspective about what we're looking at she said yeah I don't I don't even need that why because she had faith in her worship why because faith feeds worship see faith comes how by family it comes by hearing hearing by the Word of God well she had to had known that Jesus was capable to do it she was she was hearing about the Lord and she believed that he was capable of doing this why because the more faith I have in Jesus the more it impacts my worship the more faith and have been who he is and what he can do the more impacts my worship my worship is stronger to the degree of my faith you can't even really worship with your whole heart when you don't believe in the person that you're worshiping and so the more I believe in him the greater my worship the stronger my faith the greater my worship not faith for something but faith in someone and so the more faith I have the more impacts my worship and so she worships with him she expresses faith in him she receives something from him woman great is your faith go now your daughter has been whole you have received what you have wanted even more than a blessing from God in the middle of worship because you know you could worship God he'll be working on something outside of that moment you could be worshipping God he'd be working in your home you'd be worshipping God he'd be working on your husband you'll be up in the middle of night walking your halls worshiping God and he'd be working on your husband's heart working on your wife's heart working on that teenager that's astray working on that kid that went astray he'd be working on your boss you don't even know somebody on my walk into a promotion tomorrow somebody on my walk into favor tomorrow morning i I just decree in the name of Jesus tomorrow morning on Monday send me I'll gonna wake up to favor in the name of Jesus even as you family once you just stop for seven seconds and just worship God right where you are right now just just praise them because because he's worried they just just lifts him up right where you are come on just just lift them up right where you are just exalt him just lift up your heart to him right where you are just [Music] he's changing something right now he's moving something right now he's touching something right now he's working in your behalf right now he's insane in that space right with you right right now [Music] hallelujah love come on right where you are on the couch in your bedroom in your car wherever you want just just pause for just a moment maybe put the phone down and just lift up the person of Jesus exalt him right where you are because he's worthy [Music] you know worship is more than a song it's more than a worship team or band what really is worship and I'm almost done family I'm gonna let you get out of here so you go get something to eat what really is worship our English word worship comes from a root word that means worth-ship and what it really speaks to is the highest exaltation of something we deem unprecedented ly worthy and so whenever we were worth shops and whenever we worship something we're saying that this thing is worth ship and we all was created to worship just what do we worship is it a bank account cause our toys our houses is it your business your ministry what do you worship because everybody worships something worth ship it's more than an expression it's how we come before the presence of God and anytime we engage in worship God draws near to us we draw near to him he minimizes our worry our stress our problems our situations they become absolutely nothing in his presence he minimizes the issue of life and this season what do we value most because we're learning right now that the things we value are failing us money is failing us jobs are failing us things that we put value in as family knows but what do we really value in this season do we really value God above everything in this season do we really value God above every single thing in this season do we have worship for God in the season can we even exalt him above all of the worry and my mind and the problems that I'm dealing with right now watch and because Jesus is worthy of worship brushes are so powerful he's also worthy of trust let me say that again because I'm almost done because Jesus is worthy of worship listen to me he's also worthy of trust did you hear because Jesus is worthy of worship he's also worthy of trust why is the Lord worthy of trust because of his unconditional love because of his unfailing care because of his unrivaled power because of his unstained character because of his unmatched sovereignty because of his unprecedented foreknowledge because of his unlimited supply of peace and provisions and because all these things are unchanging truths because all these things are unchanging truths Jesus is the only one qualified to say to you and to say to me my brothers and sisters watch this in the middle of whatever you're dealing with right now and the threat of you losing your jobs your business your ministry and the threat of the diagnosis you received from the doctor the husband that's out of control the wife that's out of control I feel the spirit the children that's out of control the struggle between the finances the bills my kids can't go back to school No here in the middle of everything right now that has been tormenting your heart because Jesus is all those things and much more watch he is the only one qualified to say these words to you and me therefore I tell you Mathew 6:25 do not worry about your life don't worry about your life stop worrying about what you're gonna eat or what you're gonna drink stop worrying about your body what you're gonna wear it is not your life more important than food isn't your body more important than clothes look what Jesus says he says look at the birds of the air they need to gather they don't so they don't reap these animals he said go and examine them he said they don't save they don't have no bank accounts he said but watch even your heavenly Father feeds them and then he says aren't you more valuable than these animals if your heavenly father the God you and I serve cares enough to feed a bird an animal aren't you more worthy to be fed then that animal will he not take care of you jesus said are you not much more valuable than they he says which one of you by worrying can add one more hour to your life in other words is your worryin gonna change anything all is doing is robbing you of sleep robbing you of peace robbing you from joining if it listen listen you can't change it anyway he says why do you worry about clothes see the lilies of the field how they grow they do not label or spin yet I tell you that even Solomon and all of his splendor was dressed like one of these if that is how your God clothes the grass and the fields that are here today and are thrown into the fire tomorrow will he not much more clothe you oh you of little faith that is if the Lord takes care of your lawn would he not take care of you you know some of you tomorrow morning on Monday when you walk out your crib just look at your grass just find a bird flying around just think man if the Lord takes care of that animal am I not more valuable than that animal if the Lord takes care of this Lord am I not more valuable than my grass yet I tell you he said he said don't worry about those things in verse 31 he says so don't worry saying what shall we eat what shall we drink what shall we wear for the pagans run after all these things he says watch people who don't know me they run after all these things people who don't know me let them drown and they're worried you got to show them a different kind of face watch what he says he says I like this part your heavenly Father already knows everything that you need he knows you need to eat he knows you got to pay your bills he knows you got to get to work listen he knows everything that you need but it's the next part we have so much difficulty with my brothers and sisters and if we could just get this right it would change so much in our lives he says but seek ye first the kingdom of God that is don't put anything before the kingdom there's some of us who are worried because something comes before Jesus if family comes before Jesus you will be worried if business or ministry comes before Jesus you will be worried if money or bank account comes before Jesus you will be worried because those things are movable but there is something that is immovable unshakable and he says men if we only learn to just seek first that is what if I throw my whole life into the service of God Almighty if I give my whole heart to him my whole mind to him my spirit if I devote my whole life into serving him if I give him everything if he's the first thought in the morning the first part of my income the first part of my week if I give him everything if he's my first and everything let me ask you a question why in god's name would he not take care of someone who keeps him first don't you know his credibility is on the line don't make me get out this chair and grab this camera I wish I could just shake you right now into hope don't you know his credibility is on the line why would he not keep his word for the person that keeps him first so he says watch seek first the kingdom and it's righteousness and he says if you keep me first listen and especially in this times we need to hear this more than any other time if you keep me first I know what's happening with the job keep me first I know about that doctors reporting keep me first I know what's happening with the business keep me first I know what's happening with your family keep me first I know your finances are in trouble but just keep me first if you seek first the kingdom and his righteousness he says if we do that if we keep him first saying all them things you worried about you won't have to chase them they're gonna chase you he said he will just add those things to your life provision he will add peace he will add strength he will add grace he will add restoration he will add so how do I close this message look right at me everybody watching look right at me look right at me [Music] as I'm preaching to you right now one of my closest friends he's in a jam he sent me a text couple days ago early in the week he said I'm in the hospital call me you and his text he said that in his body right now he has all of the symptoms for kovat 19 slums right now is filled with fluid his kidneys are failing him his wife is concerned he can't speak without a call he's in pain he called me from his hospital he could barely finish a sentence and he said to me if I test positive for this virus this thing is no joke and I said to him I said brother stop talking he could barely speak and I prayed for him even after I finished praying for him he wept and I wept my prayers wasn't enough I start walking around my yard outside I begin to lift up the name of Jesus and I begin to exalt the person of Jesus and then on the other side of the phone I could hear my friend exalting the person of Jesus lifting up the name of Jesus and right there from his bedside with all of the symptoms of Kovan 19 he exalted the person of Jesus and he and I went into the presence of God in full shove we knelt down in God's presence symbolically and we lifted up the name of Jesus and worship and in that moment I felt something break in the heart of my friend he wasn't worried about his bed he wasn't worried about his symptoms he wasn't worried about who he was going to I heard him cry out to Jesus with his body wracked with pain and wax with all of the symptoms of kovat 19 he cried out to Jesus and he put his faith in the Lord and he worshiped God right where he was and even for just 30 seconds even for just a moment his symptoms did not matter and his environment did not matter in this bed did not matter and the fluid in his lungs it did not matter his kidneys it did not matter all that mattered in that moment is that we were in the presence of Jesus and in that moment his worry and even my Maria was no match for the presence of of God because you cannot worship and worry at the same time worship is more than a song it's more than a band or prays to you it is a lifestyle that we live of a conscious exaltation of the Lord God Almighty [Music] and in that moment as War II was no match for his worship his worship subdued his worry as in that moment he and not remembered together that whether he comes out of that room or he doesn't and our God is working and I'm telling you right now in this hour we don't even need to drown right now and whatever you worried about whatever you gonna be worried about tomorrow on Monday morning our brothers and my sisters listen to me in this season in this hour in this moment people losing jobs and losing family members we need faith over fear we need prayer over anxiety and we need worship of God over worry faith is an anchor for the Soul prayer is an anchor for the Soul worship is an anchor for the Soul when we exalt him in worship when we're living a life of worship where we can invade that space and so I just want to say to you right where you are maybe there's some people watching me right now I feel the Spirit of God somebody dragged you to watch this online stream maybe you turn this on by accident you saw somebody said follow this right

unworthy maybe you're the Canaanite woman maybe you're the Canaanite met maybe you feel unworthy but right now as I'm talking to you you may not get to hold off but you can eat the crumb that falls

access that crumb with gospel truth I am a sinner you are a sinner and because of your sin and my sin we are separated from God Almighty and if you and I die and I will sin my brother my sister the scripture promises will be separated from God for all eternity and that is something to worry about but let me eat your worry right now God and it's love for you not wanting you to perish or to be eternally separated from him he sent his son the Lord Jesus Christ to die on the cross for you and from the cross Jesus exchange his righteousness for your unrighteousness he absorbed the wrath of God for you and I and the scripture says if anyone anyone anyone will put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that that person shall be saved God will forgive you all your sins he'll remove all your sins
