Preserved to be Presented - Part 1 - Bishop Jackie McCullough

christ there's healing at the cross there's deliverance at the cross there's help at the cross no matter where you are this morning let's focus on the cross because in that cross it's my glory be my glory ever till i get past this till my raptured souls shall find rest beyond the river amen amen amen put your hands together for reverend kerosene scott that ministered to our hearts this morning in such a very special way i'm going to ask you to turn your bibles very quickly to the book of jude jude only one chapter i'm reading two verses i'm reading verse 24 and 25. jude is that book before the last book in the bible amen in case you this is your first time really handling a bible or you're not familiar with the books of the bible just go to the back of the bible and you'll see revelation well the book just before revelation is what we call the book of jude now this particular book is written to the church but i'm sure that no matter where you are you can find something out of this message this lesson this chapter that can help you on your way so here begins a reading of god's holy word verse 24 from the king james virgin now unto him that is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy to the only wise god our savior be glory and majesty dominion and power both now and forever amen so far the scripture thank you for thank god for the reading and hearing of god's word and thank you for reading and hearing god's word now now jude is written by um jude of course we the scholar what an epistle is an epistle is a letter and jude is the brother of james and many people say that he's one of the brothers of jesus i'm not going to focus on that today that's for people who do scholarly research but i know it was written by a man of god and this man of god had a strong conviction when it comes to the church of jesus christ when it comes to the saints of god and their faith he's speaking to believers about the firmness of their faith why is he writing such a strong letter why is he so passionate about the faith of the believer the faith of the christian community because within the church false teachers had crept in and they were minimizing they were attacking the divinity the identity the purpose and the mission of jesus christ and so as a result of that they were encouraged to live loose lives for if you don't keep jesus in his place his teachings in his place his principles in your heart then you will live like the world then they would if jesus is not there if he if you don't believe in what he is saying is right or wrong if your decision and my decision is not based on what he says then my decision and your decision will be based on what the world says or what i feel so this is dangerous because then all the things that jesus taught they're not important anymore so what he's saying is content for this content means to strive strive put some energy to making sure that we keep the message clear and that we stand firm on our faith so the church cannot sleep you see the church cannot just lie down and let these teachers come into the church and say what they want to say without somebody correcting it without somebody saying now wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute we do not compromise the virgin birth we believe that jesus was born of a virgin and that god came in the form of jesus christ and that jesus is not just a man not just a prophet not just a miracle worker but that he is god in the flesh we believe that he was both divine and human at the same time we also believe that because he was divine his blood his platelets though the the even the water in his veins they're supernatural they're not ordinary they're not like joseph his stepfather's blood they're not like david or elijah his blood is divine which means that intrinsic in the blood is the power and the ability to cancel sin that's why he came to cancel sin so to question his divinity is to question whether my sins are forgiven so you see how dangerous this is for anybody to keep quiet you can't compromise that you can't trade that off to some kind of spiritual experience that has nothing to do with the sin question you see the issue is take jesus out of the picture and the same question is not settled which means which means that i am not going to deal with sin which means that i feel like i'm okay doing what i'm doing when people attack jesus when people attack his purpose and his mission they really avoiding the sin question why are they avoiding the same question because they don't want you you don't want you to think that they're doing anything wrong they see themselves as good they see themselves as nice they see themselves as okay so if i'm okay why do i need a savior if i'm morally good and i'm decent why do i need to believe that jesus is god if there's nothing so bad about me why would he have to give such an awesome horrific sacrifice on the cross for a sin that's for a person who is not doing so badly you see what i'm saying so that it takes away the fact that we do it badly we were born badly hey we were born alien to the righteousness of god we were we we we don't know how to be holy we don't know how to be righteous that's why jesus came so take him out of the picture is to avoid the sin question to avoid the fact that i am an offense to the holiness of god and i need jesus to come and hook me up to god in the right way to hook his holiness unto me so i can have a relationship with a holy god that's what was at stake here and the church cannot be silent when this comes up or we take on a lot of causes we take on a lot of causes in society whether it's scientific political or social but we won't take on the cause of keeping the gospel clear but you see them saying you want to change the world change the heart of man you want you want the world to be a better place then let them own their sin and get forgiveness simple as that you want to have a better husband let him step in line and let him say save me lord and let the lord give them a better you want a better oh you want a better life on the fact that you were born bad the praise jesus came and gave you his heart his righteousness and now your mind is changing and you're having a relationship with god you and the creator have a relationship and you can talk to him he can talk to you and you live your life to fulfill his purpose the reason why you were born in the earth take that out of the church and you don't have any hope and in this pandemic you need hope well judas jude is contending and he's saying to his fellow christians don't be walking around laxatical indifferent withdrawn don't don't don't act like this is not a major issue here take this out of the church and we have no reason to have church what do we have in church for if there's no christ what if we worship in a christ where if there's no sin why do we need the blood if we're okay why do you have to come out of heaven and walk up golgotha and be crucified in such a horrific way if something wasn't wrong with me oh my my my my my my and many of you out there who are preachers you took him out of the picture and all you had was an entertaining church with everybody's narrative everybody got a story and all we do is storytelling there is no story about the history of jesus dying on the cross going down in the grave rose triumphantly and ever liveth and reigning conquered sin told the devil back off my children i'm in charge that's the story right there and the reason why we don't tell it because we want something cute and glib something that will make people giggle and laugh and feel special you can't feel special when you're sinning and there's no hope for you the only specialty is that he chose you to be his now you don't want to sound like that because you want to be popular and you want to get people to follow you on facebook and on twitter and whatever else you all have but follow him oh because you're gonna have to meet him one day you better follow him because one day you have to you're gonna you have to catch up you're gonna catch up with him he's gonna catch up with you so you better start following him now so here that's jude that's jude that's jude so there's two things i want to talk about that jude said in the 24th verse after he said all of that that i said i'm just saying what he said in another way knowing all of this knowing that your faith is under attack knowing that the principles of your faith are being challenged knowing that the foundational truths of your faith are being attacked and they're coming to erode it away erode it away chip it away chip it away no being conscious of that you have to say to yourself what what's going on why why why why what's happening to the church and then you have to say to yourself what is jude saying to me in the midst of all of this he's saying to the believer in the midst of all of this in spite of the onslaught of post-modernism in spite of the unsult of integrationism in spite of the unsalt of selfism in spite of the unsalt of personal theologism and i just made that up because it's all it is it's personal theology you know it's not about god it's about the little god in you the lower case it's a lowercase god theology everybody got a lowercase theology in spite of all of that what's happening to the true believer now the first thing is title of the sermon preserved to be presented preserved to be presented now even though everybody wants to spoil you you are a target to be spoiled you are a target to be contaminated you are high on the list listen to me church you don't understand you are number one if there's anything that they hate today is a christian that's grounded in the bible i'm not i'm not talking about the other names that they call them i don't know what those other people are doing with their so-called christianity with their political agenda i'm not talking about politics today i'm talking about my soul i'm talking about the christian soul and the christian destiny the christian soul and the christians destiny get me clear this is no political agenda here the christian soul and the christians destiny where you are and where you're going that's all it is where you are where you're going where you are where you're going where you are where you're going that's the agenda today okay so judy is saying all that i said now moreover moreover even though i said all of that because you are the target for attack persecution contradiction speculation skepticism because because you're too firm and then even when you're not firm even when you when you're frail and feeble in your faith fail frail feeble strong anointed powerful everybody everybody who is a believer you're under attack but let me encourage you today in spite of you being the target and there's an infiltration into the church through the teaching through the music through the politics through the science through the quotes through the culture you're too firm and then even when you're not perfect even through the culture it only happens when i preach i understand the the thing i don't care it needs to be said again because you're too firm you're firm in your faith even though you may be feeble even though you may be struggling in spite of all of the things that's penetrating penetrating penetrating penetrating coming at you coming at you here is the assurance unto him who is able to keep you from falling all right who is the one who is able not you this is not about you being able it's not about you getting it together working it i'm working it out you ain't working nothing out you don't have the ability to do that i'm fine i'm fine i'm doing okay how are you doing brother i'm doing fine how are you doing sister i'm doing fine no no no is that about you doing fine what does doing fine mean the only reason why you have not left the faith at this point tempted to leave being seduced to leave flirting with the idea to leave i'm not talking about leaving the church get me i'm not talking about leaving a building leaving the faith the clear gospel of jesus christ the truth the principles the doctrines the teachings the only reason why you haven't gone all the way over yet i know i got it now see i'm writing it right now i feel it right now the only reason why you didn't completely convert to islam convert to hindu the only reason why you didn't totally convert to your selfism theology is because god is able to preserve you you you are a candidate to be spoilt the teaching the activity the social climate the stuff you listen to the person you hang out with your own pride your own attitude your own preferences were all vying for your attention and you got close to crossover and just before you slipped into total apostasy just before you went all the way to denounce everything that god has done in you brought you from a long ways off delivered you from the clutches of the enemy took the taste of sin out of your mouth change your attitude and change your mind the only reason why you didn't go all the way is because the same god that saved you is the same god that would keep you from being spoiled i don't care where you are today some of you are right on the edge right on the edge right on the edge for you see i'm i'm going to say this the reason why jesus is such an issue and then you make the church an issue and then you make the pastor an issue it's really not the pastor or the church it's jesus you see because because jesus is in charge all the way you know salvation justification adoption and and sanification all of that jesus is in charge and and and the issue is we want a little bit of the charge you see that's a problem we we want a little bit of the glory we want to say that we come this far because we want to say that i'm a good husband because you know i don't sleep around i you know i look around but i don't sleep around and look around it's like sleeping around hey hey hey hey look around it's like sleeping around that's what jesus said you you didn't do nothing yet but you're looking looking you're looking that's like sleeping not sleeping i i was with somebody in the store the other day and they were with me this gentleman was with me you know we were standing there we were looking at something and something interesting came along i mean what i say interesting when i say when i say when i say what when i say interesting all the way what interesting and they came and positioned themselves right there and then they bent over to pick up something and i said to my friend turn your head you see that you see over there there's a lamp shade over there that you should be looking at go buy that lamb turn your head what all you need is one look and it's over you understand so so many times we're caught in situations where we could have crossed completely over come on ladies and gentlemen we we we we're not we're not so special and so anointed and saved so long that this flesh and the world the lust of the eyes the lust of the flesh and pride didn't bring us close to the edge where we could have but guess who brought us back come on i'm telling you you ain't going nowhere i don't care how close you get to the edge you are not escaping god's hand he is not releasing you even to yourself and and listen there are lots of you who are discouraged over your family members and discouraged over your friends and even other church members pastors hearts are hurting them because people that used to be vibrant and excited about god they're then cooled off and gone off to something else don't be discouraged these people don't belong to you you you didn't die for them there's a greater investment here if god save you and can't keep you then you need to wonder if you're saved come on if he saved you from your sin and then he can't keep you then you need to wonder did it really happen huh if his blood come on think now i'm not talking about speaking in terms of feeling nothing put on your thinking cap if his blood canceled your sin if he had the power to declare a wretched sinner not guilty in the sight of god and position you in the right relationship with god and then he can't keep you they need to ask yourself am i really saved but because he can keep you i don't care how much you demo and you dabble in sin i don't care how much you flirt with other ideologies i don't care if you go out there and get connected with stuff that are totally contradictory to the faith and the principles of teachings of jesus christ if you are chosen and if you've been elected selected called out for his purpose he is going to preserve you one day he's going to stop the falling one day he's going to stop you from going all the way all the way if some of us had gone all the way suppose he didn't grab some of us suppose he didn't stop some of us where would you be today you were on a spiral going down down down down you were getting deeper deeper deeper you were drinking deeper deeper deeper into pornography deeper deeper deeper into anger deeper deeper into all kinds of mess all kinds of situations all kinds of connections and god said uh that's enough said i'm going i'm going to it's falling right now i'm going to grab you right here so you don't get any deeper oh my god what a mighty god we serve be encouraged saints be encouraged about yourself and about your fellow believers we worry too much these people ain't god you mean to tell me that god can't stop somebody from continuing to offend him what kind of god is this who cannot take care of his creation when the bible said that he speaks and men die and he speaks and men live again when the bible said he sits on the circle of the earth and the whole world is like a sea of glass before him when the bible says he knows your thoughts before you even think of when the bible asks the questions where can i go from the presence of the lord if i fly to the utmost parts of the earth here is right there if i go to the bottom of the sea he's right there where you going where you're going where you're going where god can't go where is it you can go that god is already there he's omni omnipresent what you into that he can't see what you hide in that he doesn't know what secret you have what secret place you have that he's not there waiting for you huh where are you hanging out that he ain't hanging all right all right my english is bad but you got the message yes i am committed to preserve you with the saith the lord i am determined to save you from yourself i promise you that you won't be with me forever i promise you that because i paid the price for you i'm not about to trade you off now you are trading off material i should have gotten rid of you a long time ago you you ain't you ain't all that high and you ain't all that high end that i should hold on to you as a matter of fact i should write you off because you're low end but i want you anyway because i know what to do with lore and people i know what to do with you you don't want me like you should right now but you're gonna want me peter peter do you love me do you love me i love you like i want to love you lord i'll take that peter do you love me yes i love you like a brother i'll take that peter do you love me yeah i i i know i know i don't love you like you want me the agapeo didn't hit me yet and jesus you know why jesus took it because he know that one day peter going to get it so bad that he gonna crucify upside down you're gonna love him so bad that they're gonna say don't crucify me like the lover of my soul i don't want to dishonor his crucifixion i want to go upside down in other words he already prepared for his crucifixion he loved him that much to give up his life so you know it's okay if you don't want him like that right now it's okay that you can't serve him like that right now it's okay that you want a devil and dabble it's okay that you're on vacation it's okay it's all right it's all right we're not fighting it's okay that you have a certain kind of thoughts about christianity and about what it takes to be a christian it's okay if you think the church is cockeyed it's okay if you think that i'm too legalistic and i'm old and i'm just a legend and i need to get out the way so you could have your anointed visibility it's okay if you have all those opinions it's okay because i'm not preserving you you see i don't have you in the position that he has you and don't want to because i need to be preserved myself it's okay if you feel like christianity is on the down and selfish spiritualism is on the up and that there are more people leaving the church like the millennials it's okay to think that it's all right take all the poll take the pew poll take the bonner pole take all catapults at the end of the day now unto him who is able to get what he wants when he wants it oh i feel this thing i feel it i feel it now unto him who is able to snatch you back in your right mind you all don't hear me you all don't hear me you worry too much listen to me fly high cause you're gonna land low at the cross fly talk your talk and do your work believers you're in it for life and god is so gracious you see he doesn't he doesn't grab you the first time you get cute he allows you to live out your cuteness he allows you to live it out he allows you to leave out your preferences and your opinions he allows you to filibuster he allows you to talk loquaciously he allows you to flaunt yourself flaunt yourself and fly he allows you to develop your own persona your own he allows you to carve out your own identity he allows you to come up with your own your ownness you know because he's not intimidated now it might intimidate people you know what i'm saying because we got we got the same issues we can't do nothing about it it's just like you have a child and the child is out there doing it's his or her own thing and you can't do anything about it no matter what you say you disown them you own them you talk to them you try to help them whatever you can't change that so so we get frustrated but jesus is not frustrated stop hearing stop hearing ministry and preachers talk about jesus is frustrated how could what what what how can you frustrate him when he frustrates you let's see who frustrating who [Applause] glory to god look you walk through one door and think he's not there and he was behind the door no matter where you go because he's aft he wants you and he wants you a certain way he's pres you know why he's doing it not because he is big and bad and he's in control but he's preserving you because you don't know anything you don't know about your life you don't know about life you don't know anything you don't know anything you understand so he's trying to he's preserving you against yourself you think you know and you get angry when people say you don't know and you feel like people are diminishing you when you don't know you feel like they're questioning your intellect you know and you know how we do we we know that you know we we we know how s square plus y squared equals z square and we can do calculus or we can do you know whatever we can do physics and we can do you know we can we can do all kinds of stuff and we we can we can we're good in our profession we're proficient in our profession we're proficient in whatever oh we got all kinds of things to make us feel like we know but you know my daughter works at a facility and it's a facility for for people who um who who you know who are who are older and and it's a very sophisticated facility either people are older and they and they they live in this facility the and their family members sign them up very expensive or they're they're going through some kind of dementia or whatever and some of the people that are suffering from dementia were scientists and doctors and lawyers now you tell me brilliant doctors and lawyers professionally successful so what do you have for you to boast about and think you can work this thing out in your soul tell me tell me you need to land your plane you need to land your plane and realize you got off the ground either been on the plane and you got off the ground and they circled and then when you turn around you're back at the gate oh lord jesus have mercy oh it happened to me so many times you're on your way you're on i'll never forget we're on our way from jamaica back home and we went up several times i'm sorry ladies and gentlemen we have to circle back right to the gate right back where you started from right back at the front of the cross what you're coming right back to the foot of the cross you're coming right back to the blood you're coming right back to the word you're coming right back to his luck fly your plane but it's just circling and he gives you circle time you know he gives you time to circle to go around and circle it gives you a lot of time to do that and then you wake up one day i'm right back where you're back at the front of the cross you know why he's keeping you from having an accident you're right back at the gate because if he had taken off and gone any higher the plane would have blown up the engine something was wrong with it so he saved you from a plane crash save you from tragedy save you from destroying yourself save you from destroying your family save you from losing your mind save you from a plot that the enemy had for you he's a preserver all right john 20 20 now people people don't like people don't like for people to say you know you're just circling and you can't you can't say that you know in my day those mothers would say child go somewhere and sit down you ain't going nowhere you couldn't even get mad they said come here little girl where do you think you're going you know what i'm saying say god got you and you ain't going no you couldn't you might have felt upset but you couldn't act like you get mad not with those mothers not with those mothers because even if you act like you're getting upset they say come it's time to pray come come i see you need prayer right now something tell me that you need prayer you know what they're trying to tell you you you're going around in circle you can't tell these wonderful glorious anointed well spoken well put together people that know how to have charisma and draw people to themselves you can't tell them that they're going around in circle you can't tell them that they're playing on land at the foot of the cross no no no that's a big time accusation you can't tell people they're going around in circle well what do you think you know you you're not god and that's true but you know what without understanding what god is doing keeping you from yourself anything that comes to undermine the principles of the faith keeping you from sinning keeping you from yielding to temptation three three things from sinning continually doing the same thing over and over again for 20 years keeping you from yielding to temptation always soft in that area always can't resist keeping you from dishonoring your faith those three things stopping you from falling into that same sin protecting you from yielding taking the taste out of your mouth where you're not so easily seduced by a certain thing or a certain person that's yielding and keeping you from giving up the honor of your faith that's preservation that's what he's working on don't ask nobody what it is i don't understand i don't understand what's going on he's keeping you from sinning something is going on in your life and he he knows that sin will take you it will metastasize so he's got to stop you what happens when they go in for the cancer they have to stop it before it spreads through the whole body and god is interrupting some things in your life because it's getting ready to spread through your whole body your whole life your whole future and if he doesn't give you that radiation of the holy ghost he doesn't if he doesn't give you that chemo of the word he'll eat you up he'll eat you up alive thank god for his keeping power and how do i know i'm being kept john 10 29 go to john 10 29 get your bible underlined john 29 it's not i'm keeping you i'm not keeping you and holding you i'm not holding you people think oh you hold you're holding people down i ain't holding nothing i can't even hold myself who am i holding who am i holding you know who is holding jesus what is john 10 29 said my father father god jesus talking now who is talking jesus talking about who his father god my father which gave them to me who is it them you and me just tell yourself i'm the i'm one of them i'm one of them see so my father father god which gave them mccullough to him me jesus see god gave me to jesus god gave you to jesus gave them to me is greater than any other force any other force that wants you god is greater anything that's pulling at you right now to get you to give up the faith give up your walk give up your your commitment give up your passion give up the word questioning the word twisting the word not not not putting it in its right context using it to philosophy using it to get over speculation persecution come on infiltration anything that's coming after you god is greater than that force right there you see and none of that can take you out of my hand eat your heart out devil eat your heart out forces it's fixed you're not going anywhere i'm sorry i'm so sorry to tell you the plane took off but it's right back you might as well get off the plane and take your bags and go home because it ain't going nowhere what i have received god put you in my hand and arabella nobody can take you out well you can say you know i i i know people who are just doing what they want to do and saying what they want to say and including yourself and i know people you know just just just have their way whatever whatever and they seem to get away with it you know who you're talking to now unto him who is able able to what able to what you if you're talking about me then you know i don't have no ability if you talk about the leadership they got no ability if you talk about whatever church ain't got no ability but jesus has the ability to what preserve you keep you from falling keep you from stumbling in the same stuff keep you from going in it over and over and over and over again until it becomes so attached to you that you can't get rid of it somebody says well i know people who've been doing stuff for a lifetime listen god doesn't have a clock you worried about your 60th birthday because you got gray hair god didn't worry about no 60th birthday you know i'm 35 and i'm getting older that's your problem god ain't worried about 35. age is not a problem because it can it can take all the way up to the minute before you cross over for you to understand you're being preserved you were kept even when you thought you were doing your own thing even when you thought the wonderful thing about god is even when you're doing your own thing he uses that same own thing to preserve you how does that work how does that work and i i'm going to just talk about presentation i'm finished let me tell you how it works we all are talking about vaccine and i'm not trying to tell you to take it or not to take it that's between you god and your doctor and your company all i'm saying to you is this is how this is how vaccination works worked worked when it came to smallpox typhoid chickenpox and all of that how did it work how did it work ask any medical person we got medical people over here they can correct me come in the chat if you think i'm off don't make me give these people the wrong information what they do is they take a smaller portion a lesser portion of the virus and they they make it into a vaccine and stick it in and that lesser portion of the virus causes you to develop a strong immune system to fight the big portion of the virus so you get a lesser portion that means you get lesser symptoms you might have a little fever you might have whatever whatever but when the real virus comes the immune system says i got i know you i know you i know who you are and i know what you come to do you come to give me the whooping cough you you you come to give me the measles you come to give me the chicken box you come to give me the tie for you come to give me whatever and so i'm ready for you so even when you go out there and get a taste of sin see the lord take that little virus of sin that you went to enjoy and now he uses it in kind of creative ways so that you develop such an immune system so when it comes in its fullness and no oh no no no no i've been there i've done that no no no no no i know what it is no no i almost died almost no no no no you mean you tell me he takes my mess and he uses it to correct my mess that's the kind of god that you serve he takes your foolishness and he uses it to correct your foolishness ask jacob you scoundrel and liar and supplanter i'm going to use your little supplanting mentality and i'm going to fix it so you won't ever surplant again i'm going to send you to labor he's a chief supplier you need to meet the chief and i'm going to give you a taste of your own medicine and when i get through putting this serum inside of you it's going to build you up so that the name will be changed from jacob to israel ladies and gentlemen if you can understand that scientifically that little bit of you know home scientific explanation right there if you can understand that you can understand how he's preserving you right now he's giving you a taste of your medicine he's giving you a taste of your activity so that he's using it so that you will realize oh my god god is building me up come on peter you need to be you need to know that you're two-faced it you need to hear the crow and some of you all the cop didn't crow yet you need to hear the crow so that you can get a taste and build up an immunity so if anybody else could come and mess with you that's why he stood up on the day of pentecost boy wasn't scared anymore he ain't hiding no more ye man i am not drunk as you suppose oh but i'm filled with the holy spirit said this was prophesied by the prophet joel in the last days i pour up my spirit and all flesh listen to me he was fixed it's called but his denial converted him to another level so wherever you are god is using it god is using it to fix you so you could stand up for him fix you so you could walk with him fix you so you won't be so easily seduced fix you so you won't run anymore fix you so you could get your passion back fix you so take your vacation he's on vacation with you go on your rebellious walk he's right there he's right there he's right there and when he gets through what is he going to do he's going to present you by any means necessary he's going to make a presentation and present you here means to bring you before the lord and how is he going to bring you what are you going to look like and then what are you going to look like what you're going to look like when you're presented the bible says that you're going to be without fault you're going to be thoughtless you're going to be unblameable and unreplaceable now before i end this sermon let me tell you what i was talking to the lord i preached this to 7 30 but something kept ringing in my spirit about this text and it's the word fault less i may not get to unblamable and unreproachable i'll just stay with faultless and that's it one of the reasons why many of us are struggling to jump out of his hand and develop our own way is because it's too humiliating to accept our faults this day of post-modernism where where everybody's truth is truth and where that renaissance mentality where is the elevation of man of the man is the day of the man in the day of the woman the day of the whatever the the one of the worst things you can say to anybody even children is you're at fault you can't you can you can't what you can't correct even children you you know you say to them you're at fault this is your fault and you have to own it we don't like that word you're at fault we don't like god to blow us up and throw us under the bus we need to be under the bus what we we don't want we don't fault me what i'm not supposed to be corrected because if i correct it that means i have a fault if i'm chastised and challenged it's because something i'm doing that's not right and i can't be wrong that's the day we're living in you can't tell no sanctified saying no intelligent four degrees saint that they're wrong so why am i presented thoughtless why he's using that word what's wrong with you jesus how you gonna present me faultless you don't have to say thoughtless because i was never faulty you're presenting me faultless like i got a fault oh god oh god all right mccullough calm down calm down calm down why are you saying faultless why can't you just present me why are you gonna point out thought less fart less faultless all this time that you're working on me are you saying that i had a fault see you see unless you own that you have the propensity to have false you can't appreciate this journey that's why you want to jump out and join another religion because other religions don't talk about your fault that they don't talk about your sins you see they talk about how you can live a good life how you can contribute to society how you can be in control how you can whatever whatever you're in charge you're in charge you understand but thoughtless thoughtless why are you talking about fault talk about like it's like saying to the child you listen to this now you did something wrong you did something wrong and the child will say yeah i did something wrong but you know i also did something right so what they're saying is don't mention my wrong but mention my most parents raise their children like that always telling them what good they are are covered for them don't say that to them you're gonna hurt them don't say that to them what that serial killer what you have just damaged his possibility of being redeemed not a heaven to do to rescue him or her from his or herself fault i'm announcing it loud you got thoughts faulty thinking i'm coming on in your faulty desire faulty relationship false in the morning and false at night that's why he's working me you see that's why he's preserving me because if he let me go these faults will take me over and destroy me so thank god there's a day coming when he gonna settle my faultiness prone to wonder lord i feel it prone to leave the god i love here's my heart i'll take conceal it seal it for the courts above when people don't want to accept their faults they're most dangerous there's no remedy for people who can't say that they're sick there's no remedy for you if you don't think anything is wrong come on pharisees physicians heal thyself because i came to seeking to save that which was lost i can't heal you if you ain't sick i can't deliver you so i'm preserving you have thoughts that's why i got false got false god got thoughts but guess what don't give up on yourself at the end of the day he's going to present you he's going to present you he's going to present you faultless [Music] that means all of my propensity my desire to do things that are unrighteous when i get there it will be over when he presents me there will be no faultiness in me i'll be holy blameless unreproachable but let let's let's until that time comes keep it real a deacon environment say real talk real talk ain't no real talk there's no real life when people don't have real talk they don't have real life here's a real talk accept the fact that there are faults and that's what he's working on that's the area of preservation that there are things that god is working on don't give up on yourself because he's not giving up on you he is not going to give up on you he is not going to leave you in your faultiness he's going to keep you from falling keep you from going down down down down down down down down down i don't care how long you play the game you can play the game of avoidance you can play the game of avoidance you can run run run run run you can lie to yourself and ask yourself cover yourself but when the end of the day he's going to work it out that he presents you faultless so i i'm just trying to tell you what the journey is all about you're being preserved because you're going to be on display he's going to show you off to the angels he's going he's going to embarrass the demons and he's going to present you to god with joy faultless thoughtless so don't be acting like you don't have any thoughts right now the best mindset to have is lord i know i know that i'm not where i used to be and i know i am not where i should be i know i don't even want to be but i know that you're preserving me [Music] hmm spirit of the living [Music] god come on and worship [Music] raise your hand all the way spirit of spirit of spirit upon [Music] is come on come on come on [Music] on through come on through come on through come on worship worship and worship town that's robin before you sing it again i feel like to say that those of you who want god to fall fresh on you because you know that you're in a preservation period to be presented you're going to be presented now there's no doubt about it but it's a preservation period that we find troublesome but if you want god to help you to mold you just put those hands up just put those hands up put those little hands just put let's put the little hands up all over the place you understand even with your window closed because you don't want nobody to see you just put the hands up if that's your desire i'm not trying to make you do it if you don't want to do it it's fine but just put those hands up and i want when she's singing you worship the lord because you need to be grateful for the preservation period you need to be grateful that he loves you and he's intentional enough not to let you go oh love that will not let me go i hang my helpless soul on thee he's he's not going to let you go so with that in mind let's hear pastor robin sing it again and you can sing it with her with your your your your your mute on [Music] the living god the living god on me come on come on come on [Music] the living [Music] those of you out there in social media and in the zoom i want you to know that your life is hidden with christ in god there's no escaping there's no avoiding there's no getting away because he has chosen you for himself and part of the agreement is that he will preserve you from yourself for himself for a presentation and he's working on you right now in areas that you don't even understand and even if you don't appreciate it even if you don't understand it he's keeping his covenant agreement with you that he is going to take you from the cross to the throne from the foot of the cross to the foot of the throne in heaven and he's not going to break his promise even if you don't like it even when you're trying to avoid it god loves you enough to ignore your rebellion your stubbornness your withdrawal and this covenant is permanent and for those of you who feel like i can't do this i'm so tired god will god you don't love me i know you can't love me i know you gave up on me no he has not just thank him because he's that kind of a god he will love you all the way to the end and present you and when he presents you nobody can accuse you or blame you because the work would have been well done may the lord bless you with this may the lord seal it to your spirit when you feel like you failed when you when you fell off the horse when you did something and you feel like you can't get back lift up your head or your gates and be lifted up you everlasting doors kingdom glory shall come in who is your king of glory lord strong and mighty the lord mighty in battle come on he knows how to take failures and give them victory he knows how to take people who are feeble and make them firm he knows how to take runners and make them stable he knows how to take weaklings and make them strong that's the kind of god that
