Randy Skeete - 'Holding Hands'

let not your heart be troubled you believe in God believe also in me in my father's house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you 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 ye may be also and whither I go ye know and the way know Thomas F and to him Lord we know not whither thou goest and how can we know the way jesus said unto him I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the father but by me if he had known me you should have known my father also and from henceforth he know him and have seen him Philip saith unto Him Lord show us the father and it sufficeth us jesus said unto him have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me Philip he that have seen me have seen the father and how says thou then show us the father believe us now not that I am in the father and the father in me the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself but the father that dwelleth in me he doeth the works believe me that I am in the father and the father in me or else believe me for the very works sake verily verily I said to you he that believeth on me the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my father and whatsoever he shall ask in my name that will I do that the father may be glorified in the son if he shall ask anything in my name I will do it if you love me keep my Commandments god is good and all the time Psalm 100 verse 5 for the Lord is good his mercy is everlasting and his truth endureth to all generations and I like to say one day era will come to an end truth will endure to all generations as long as there is God there will be truth but error will one day come to a fiery end along with those who persist in living their lives by error happy Sabbath everyone how do you do by God's grace always by God's grace the only thing we do not do by God's grace is sin are you with me but we hear by God's grace we speak by God's grace we wag our fingers by God's grace this is no joke if your physiologists you'll understand how many processes are required just to do that and if certain microscopic parts are missing you cannot even do that the Bible says in him we live and move and have our being always recognize God as a reason why you are live thank you very

handsome brother with a flashing smile anybody else anybody else okay our subject for this morning or this afternoon holding hands what did I say holding hands as young people love to do even though they have no spiritual benefit but holding hands is our subject for today before I begin let me demonstrate that I'm an old-fashioned man if you have one of these what is this I prefer that you use it instead of one of these but if this is all you have as is the fashion then make sure it does not ring out of curiosity how many have Bibles can I see them can i oh wow I'm impressed I haven't read the Lord bless you I am impressed with those here with phones I made a lot bless you a little bit but God loves you too thanks for coming all right yeah the second thing I'd like you to do for me pray for me while I speak and all I want you to say is Lord put your words in that man's mouth and this is a very serious request my words have no life but Jesus says the words that I speak unto you they are spirit come on and their life he did not say that about my words and so ask God from time to time Lord put your words in that man's mouth that request is based on Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 9 then the Lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth and the Lord said unto me behold I have put my words in thy mouth and favor number three I want you to think thinking is not as popular as you may suspect it should be popular in the church because God says to you unto me come now let us reason together think as you listen let's bow our heads reverently in quietly as we pray dear God it is such an honor to call you father it is such a holiday called to assemble in your house of worship on this holy day without molestation from the authorities we thank you we arrived without accidents day God or tragedies Lord if we've sinned against you forgive us there father Jesus died to make forgiveness available forgive us where we've sinned and father remember the words of Christ in John 16:13 howbeit when he the Spirit of Truth has come he will guide you into all truth send your spirit father to guide us into truth I humble myself before your father I really do I am asking you to help me to suppress the carnal nature that loves glory loves recognition help me to suppress it God to strangle it into submission that you alone may receive the praise Isaiah 42 first it says I am the Lord that is my name my glory will I not give to another and so father you take it I pray speak through me father literally speak through me take control of my mind and my mouth and my attitude send mighty angels to keep the enemy at bay a double blessing on all our guests I pray bless not only us but wherever your people are worshiping you right now bless them their God with your presence and through the mysterious agency of the Spirit unite all our hearts as one I pray in Jesus name let God's people say Amen and amen what's our subject holding hands Luke 24 reading from verse 36 and may ask you know chatting during the service please let me do all the chatting unless you have to say Amen hallelujah praise the Lord that should be the limit of your chatting what book did I say what chapter reading from rod verse 36 when you found it say Amen and I read from the King James Version of the Bible and as they thus spake Jesus himself stood in the midst of them and saith unto them peace be unto you but they were terrified and affrighted and supposed that they had seen a spirit and he said unto them why are you troubled and why do thoughts arise in your hearts behold my hand and my feet that it is I myself handle me and see for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see me have now let's pause and go back to verse 36 I want you to observe something it's a grammatical structure and as they thus speak Jesus himself this is called in grammar the intensive the verse could have said Jesus stood in the midst of them but the God wants us with no doubt that the person who appeared was Jesus Christ and so the Bible says this is Luke a historian and historians are very careful about facts and as they thus spake Jesus himself stood in the mists of them and saith unto them peace be unto you and they were terrified and affrighted because they thought they had seen a spirit and he said unto them why are you troubled by the way if you're trouble God is asking you that right now why are you troubled and why do thoughts arise in your hearts listen to Christ now behold my hands and my feet we come across another intensive that it is what I myself God wants you to have no doubt it is he that is operating in your life to many believers have doubts as to whether Christ is with them or not handle me and see says God or Christ for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have the creator of heaven and earth and that's Christ he invited the disciples to handle me and the greek word means to verify by touch but it also means to verify by mental activity you put two and two together and you come to the correct conclusion that this is for Jesus says handle me take your hand put it in mine handle me what's our subject holding hands who is this person inviting the disciples to handle me let's get reading and when he thus had spoken he showed unto them his hands and his feet and while they yet believe not for joy and wondered he said unto them have ye here any meat and they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb verse 43 and he took it and did eat before them what we learned for about Christ from this among many things having showed them his hands and his feet in other words showing them the marks of the crucifixion he is trying to prove he is real Christ is not a theological argument Jesus Christ is a person Jesus Christ is a real three-dimensional being and so he says handle me when they didn't believe he said give me something to eat because a ghost does not eat and a ghost does not have flesh and bones God goes the extra mile to convince us that he is real can you say Amen you see God tells us go the extra mile but God Himself goes the extra mile he requires of us what he does and so when touching his hands and his feet were not enough they still doubted he said give me something to eat and the Bible says he took it and did eat before them before them does not mean before they themselves had a chance to eat it meant right in their presence let's take a look at who it was who said handle me let's go to John 1 our subject holding hands and this is a conclusion of a youth week so while I'm talking to the youth I'm talking to everyone John chapter 1 will read from verse 1 our subject holding hands when he found it say ma'am all right most of you didn't say Amen I assume you haven't found him John 1 reading from verse 1 let me pause and pray again father continue to exercise control over my faculties I pray in Jesus name Amen in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God notice this the word was god let's read that verse again microscopically in the beginning whenever that was was the word as far back as you can take your limited mind the word was there and the Word was with God so as far back as you can go the word and God had always been together the first goes on to say and the word was god so we have plurality and we have oneness plurality in that the word and God oneness in that the Word was God or the word was just like God we have to let's go to verse 2 the same was in the beginning with God who is the same the word all things were made by him now we have two people but all things were made by him is him singular or plural singular so we have two individuals in verse one the word and God we have two individuals in verse two the same and God and we have one in verse three all things were made by him who is this him and without him was not anything made that was made now verse 14 tells us and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us we know now that the word in verse one the same in verse 2 and the him in verse 3 refers to whom tell me quickly Jesus Christ the Bible tells us Christ has always been there they are some advocates who believe he had a beginning let's go to Psalm 90 the ninetieths a beautiful song by the way teach it to your children Psalm 90 weary from first one our subject holding hands you have Psalm 90 reading from verse one when you found its Amen Lord thou has been our dwelling place in all generations what does he mean by all generations as long as they have been people so that's very limited God has been there are you with me which also means he had have been there before there were people because he made them Lord thou has been our dwelling place in all generations before the mountains were brought forth or ever thou has formed the earth and the world even from everlasting to everlasting finish the verse thou art God now the Hebrew word for everlasting means something that escapes the mind it is out of mind you cannot conceive what is the psalm is saying as far back and beyond where your mind can go as far into the future and beyond where your mind can go the Creator has always been there he has been gone now who is that person who formed the mountains go to Hebrews 1 Hebrews what our subject holding hands Hebrews 1 will refill verse 8 this is very fascinating passage this is the father speaking and he's talking to listen and about the son and we are allowed to eavesdrop the father is speaking to the Sun and about the sand we are allowed to listen in as the father talks to the son verse 8 of Hebrews 1 but unto the son he saith thy throne O God is forever and ever a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom stop what does the father call the son God since one person answered the rest of you didn't see it listen to verse 8 of Hebrews 1 but unto the son he saith thy throne come on o God is for ever and ever what did we read in Psalm 90 verse 2 from everlasting to everlasting is equivalent to forever and ever verse 9 thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity therefore God even thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows now listen to the father as he continues in verse 10 how many of you have the King James Version read with me for stem are you ready here we go and thou Lord in the beginning come on has laid the foundations of the earth and the heavens are the works of thy hand now before the mountains were brought forth or ever thou has formed the earth and the world even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God who is this person of whom it is said our God Jesus scrap don't hesitate Jesus Christ and this is told to us in the Old Testament let me say differently the person who said let there be light was Jesus Christ the person who said on the cross it is finished father into thy hands I commend my spirit was the person who said let there be light what we have is the Creator dying for what was his immense from you what's wrong am i preaching error christ died for what was his he had the right that's why an angel could not die for us for two reasons the angel did not make us and the angels life was not his own but the life in Christ was his and so the Bible says from everlasting to everlasting thou our God thy throne O God is for ever and ever a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom and in verse 10 it says and thou Lord in the beginning laid the foundations of the earth listen to Genesis 1:1 in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth yes it was a unified effort in the sense that Christ did it for the Father but the person who said let there be light was Jesus Christ the one of whom the Bible says from everlasting to everlasting was Jesus Christ the one of whom the father says thy throne O God is for ever and ever was and remains Jesus Christ he laid the foundations of the earth the father said and the heavens are the works of thy hands they shall perish but the reminisce and they all shall wax old as the garment and as a vesture shalt thou fall them up but thou are the same under years shall not fail another support for the eternal nature of Christ the heavens may pass the earth may pass but your years will never sail who was this person that said handle me Jesus Christ tell me something else the one who said let there be light let's go to first John chapter 1 literally from first one our subject holding hands first John chapter 1 reading from verse 1 looks like 25 to 1 you have first John one reading from first one let's pray again Holy Father continue to be with me day God it doesn't take long for the carnal nature to raise its head push that head down there father and speak through me with no interference from my flesh in Jesus name I pray amen that which was from the beginning notice the words very carefully now this is the same person who wrote in the Gospel of John chapter 1 verse 1 in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word this is the same person here's how the rites now that which was from the beginning which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes which we have looked upon and our hands have what handled what did Jesus say handle me the apostle now is writing I handle the God who has existed from all eternity I handled him I saw him I contemplated him because we have towards and first one that which was from the beginning which we have heard they heard God which we've seen with our eyes and we've looked upon auditory for things to see what the eye is to look to look upon is to contemplate so you see me with your eyes but you're also contemplating me and our hands of handle of the word of life for the life was manifested and we have seen it and bear witness and show unto you that eternal life which was with the father and was manifested unto us he calls him that eternal life he calls him life John says that God who existed before anything else existed I saw him I held him I heard him and I observed him and of all the twelve disciples I alone put my head on his chest at the Last Supper I believe you listening you're nodding your heads do you understand what the Bible is teaching us the great god of the universe came to this earth in the person of his son people saw him this is the God all heathen nations want to worship now they worship him through the Sun which is wrong you see the ultimate desire of the heart is to reach God but we do it through the Sun and they worship it's praise and to worship the rivers and they worship whatever else to worship rocked but what they're searching for is that all power that can direct their lives and John says I saw him and I sat with him and I rode in a boat with him and I held his hand and I leaned on his breast and I considered his words this God says to you my young brother let's hold hands and walk through life a lot of people are depressed because they feel alone unloved uncared for and there's a God in heaven now we need one another yes but the foundation of our mental health should be gone not people on whom you cannot depend are you following me are you not listening I'm talking to myself let me say again the foundation of mental health for the Christian is not Prozac let me see clearly quickly certain medications have their place don't misunderstand me but the foundation of our mental peace is God the realization that my life is led directed control by the power that runs the universe you need to understand you know the Bible says in Psalm 27 verse 10 just listen when my mother and my father forsake me finish the verse then the Lord will take me up well if mother and father can forsake your friends will forsake you who does not forsake you tell me God the one who became like you flesh and blood let's find out something else about this God go back to John 1 this God who made heaven and earth and who died on the cross John 1 verse 1 or from verse 1 in the beginning was the word read it with me you know and the Word was with God and the Word was God the same was in the beginning with God all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made now notice verse 4 carefully in him was what life stopped now let's go beyond in him was life we need to understand it is not so much in him was life he himself is life but let's read first for this entirety in him was life come on and the life was the light of men do not allow that to lead you to think that the life in Christ is the life only in human beings all life is in Christ the life of human beings the life of birds the life of animals the life of fish the life of plants there is no life outside of Jesus Christ are these things real they're real you know where they get their life from tell me quickly Jesus Christ don't depend on the biology department of the university of was this place called Wolverhampton to tell you that that life in that leaf is from God elamite writes in bible commentary volume 1 page 1080 one paragraph 3 I believe it is God has given his life to the trees and vines of his creation it does not mean God lives in that leaf it simply means that leaf cannot live disconnected from God [Music] that bird flies because this life is preserved by God and if we will live this way all day we would be singing words of praise and thanks to God when you walk up the stairs in your house you thank God when you rise in the morning you thank God when you go to the bathroom and no one helps you you thank God in him we live and move I'm talking about Jesus Christ who upholds all things by the word of his power hebrews 1 verse 3 2nd Peter chapter 3 verse verse 5 verse 7 he upholds all things he preserves all things Colossians 1 7 by him all things consist the Bible says in him was life let's go to John 14 we read verse 6 be ready before our subject holding hands we're talking about Jesus and there's no more important subject in the Bible than Jesus and nobody said Amen well two people you're tough congregation John 14 verse 6 do you have that it's a popular first aid with me jesus saith unto him walk I am the way the truth and the life stop Jesus did not say I have the way I have the truth I have the life he said I am the way I am the truth I am the life that's sort of first John chapter 5 we're even verse 11 first John chapter 5 reading from verse 11 towards the back of the Bible you should find that quickly it's a quarter to 1 roughly read with me and this is the record that God oh wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute take that off please take it off take it off blessings upon you open your Bible and read your Bible with all genuine Christians say Amen open your Bible and read your Bible don't let me get off on one of my soap boxes because you'll be here till five I have nothing against technology are you following me this has its place but this has a dark side when I was a boy we didn't have this people found the books of the Bible like that today we can't do that because this screen has replaced our minds this has replaced our minds so the things you worked out in your head now you go to the phone open the Bible at least and read for yourself let's go first John chapter 5 verse 11 what does the Bible say you tell me and this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life come on and this life is in his son now let's read verse 12 he that hath the son come on stop or I finish it and he that hath not the son of God hath not life Jesus himself is life are you sick ask yourself the question have I given my life to Jesus completely there's no L white rights let the mind become intelligent and though we'll be placed on the Lord's side and there will be a wonderful improvement in the physical health some of us are sick because we're not 100% surrender to God you see Christ his life recommit your life to Christ 100% see what happens to your health in him was life John one for the life was the light of men God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in his son he to have the son have life neither hath not the son of God hath not life my question for you my brothers and sisters do you have Christ as the source of your life Christ object thoughts from the Mount of blessing page 61 paragraph 2 what did I say thoughts from the Mount of blessing page 61 paragraph 2 God is the fountain of life and we can have life only as we are in communion with him listen carefully separated from God existence may be ours for a little while but we do not possess life someone disconnected from God is existing not living and so first Peter first Timothy 5 6 says he that liveth and pleasure is dead while she liveth the life you and I need to survive this world and to qualify us for peace in God's kingdom is only possible through a union with the life giver that's Jesus Christ go with me to John 11 John 11 we're finding out that this person who said handle me was the one who made heaven and earth the one who said handle me is the one who said it is finished the one who made heaven and earth we take a look at him now John 11 we read from first 21 John is a beautiful Gospel reading some time beautiful gospel do you have John 11 from first 21 let me pray Holy Father as I continue to talk about your son continue to control my mind and my mouth through the agency of your spirit in Jesus name I pray aim then said Martha to Jesus Lord if thou hadst been here my brother had not died she's saying if you were present he would have died but I know that even now whatsoever thou will ask God he will give it thee jesus said unto her thy brother shall rise again Martha said unto him I know that he will rise again at there in the resurrection at the last day jesus said unto her read verse 25 with me now I am the resurrection and the life stop resurrection is not just an event in some mysterious way the resurrection is a person I am the resurrection not at John 14 let's read verse 18 and 19 this is Christ comforting his disciples chapter 14 of John is almost on red letters chapter 15 almost all red letters chapter 16 most read chapter 17 almost all right after that 18 he's in gifts Emily so these are the final words of Christ read verse 18 what does that say I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you now carefully verse might in what is that saying yet lling while and the world seeth me no more come on but he see me finish that verse because I live haha ye shall live also he is the resurrection Christ his life Christ is the creator Christ is the resurrection Christ is the one of whom the psalmist says ephraim from everlasting to everlasting thou art God and he says to you into me hold my hand and let's walk together this is not symbolic this is literal and you're saying to me how can it be literal when Jesus is in heaven it is literal through faith in his word the word is not symbolic when you accepted by faith it becomes a reality in your life so when Jesus says handle me and see we handle him through the word and he says to you take my hand and let us walk through life handle me but keep this in mind go to Amos chapter 3 our subject holding hands and people love to walk holding hands I see it all the time airports and wherever else holding hands on TV there are six months later they divorced it's not holding hands to keep you together is the ring around your heart not the one on your finger alright what book did I say what chapter reading for you read with me what does that say can two walk together X they'd be agreed now Jesus said I am the way away is how you walk the Bible says the only way two people can walk together they must agree I'm coming to the down slope of the message let's look at me and let's look at God and we're supposed to walk together Romans 8:7 because the carnal mind is enmity against God because it is for it is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be that's me Jeremiah 17:9 the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked that's me Jeremiah 13:23 can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots then may also do good there are accustomed to do evil that's me behold I am vile what shall I answer thee I will lay my hand upon my mouth Europe 40 versa for that's me now holy just good righteous sinless perfect who is that God here is holy just right sinless perfect and here is vile contemptuous deceitful no good how can these two walk together one of the two has to change here's what the Bible says about God Malachi 3:6 I am the Lord now you come to the intelligent conclusion come on you have to change remember God wants to walk with you but we must agree Isaiah 55 verse 8 listen carefully you know it for my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways saith the Lord now here's how different God's mind is from ours for as the heavens are higher than the earth how high is that so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts now if there is such light-years of difference between the way God thinks and the way we think and we have to walk together we have to undergo a radical change many of us think God is just like we are go to Psalm 50 Psalm 50 some fifty in the new world will have air-conditioning it'd be nice and cool and even temperature all of the new world no sweaty preachers alright Psalm 50 we shall read from verse eighteen crisis of course criticizing his people you have verse eighteen of Psalm 50 you have the King James Version really what are they saying when thou sauce a thief then thou consent issed with him stop there are some people they don't steal but they have nothing against thieves and so in God's eyes you're no different listen to me carefully there are some people who say if you want to live with a man that's your business I don't criticize you it's not my choice but do you want to do that that's fine sin must bother you the sin in your life and the sin in everyone's life should bother you I'm not saying you're a judge I'm not saying that or professional critic I'm simply saying sins should bother the child of God wherever that sin is in me or side and so when thou saw'st it's the thief thou consent issed with him reverse my team now one now give us thy mouth to evil and thy tongue Freimuth this seat next verse was that say thou cities and speakers against thy brother and slanderous than on mother's son and some churches do that but not this church now listen the first 21 carefully read with me these things has thou done and I kept silent now carefully thou oughtest I was altogether such a one as thyself you think I'm like you because I don't send a flood every time you steal my tithe you think I don't see and I don't notice you're blind to the fact that I'm long-suffering now for tests that I was altogether such a one as that God is not like we are numbers 23:19 God is not a man that he should lie he is not the way we are my thoughts are not your thoughts but he has defines the way to change our minds to correspond with his and so the Bible says let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus I am come to the close not just the mind of Christ let's go to 2nd Peter chapter 1 let's read verse 4 we just found out from Philippians 2:5 we must have the mind of Christ he's qualifying us to walk with him so he and I can agree 2nd Peter chapter 1 verse 4 you have that it's nice to hear the sound of pages of the Bible turning in the church there are no pages on the phone alright 2nd Peter 1 verse 4 do you have that read with me what does it say whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises that by these come on he might be one partakers of what the divine nature stopped in Philippians 2:5 we must have the mind of Christ 2nd Peter 1:4 we must be partakers of the divine nature go to Hebrews 12 verse 10 Hebrews 12 verse 10 you have that we went 2nd Peter you come forward pass first Peter James then Hebrews 12 10 when you found it's amen read with me what does that say further whoa we have had feeb rules 12 10 what does that say for their fairly for a few days yes Jason has come on and for their own pleasure stop those are parents chastening the children for their own pleasure sometimes keep reading but he for our profit he reading that we might be partakers come on Oh three things Philippians 2:5 we must have what the mind of Christ second Peter 1 verse 4 we must partake of the divine nature and he brews 12:10 we must be partakers of his holiday now when that's the case he and we finished my words can walk together and who is he Jesus Christ my brothers and sisters God wants to hold your hand like two lovers walking through st. James Park or something walking with you in order for that to be a reality you must bring yourself in line with God's standards my young son my young brother my young sister the creator of heaven and earth wants to walk with you he wants to associate with you hang out with you to use a secular expression in a pulpit he wants to hang out with you you know we have friends we love to saw sit with God wants to be that person so that you can tell him your troubles your stresses your aches he will understand in a way your friends cannot and even if your friends understand they can do nothing why is it Christ can understand for as much then as the children are partakers flesh and blood he also himself likewise took part of the same Jesus Christ took human form he became one of us so that he might understand feel temptation and ultimately experience death when he rose he took that human flesh with him glorified but still human flesh and so the Bible says there's one God and one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus that was written about twenty years after Jesus Christ went back Colossians 2 verse 9 in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily there is someone who understands you more than your parents that's Jesus because Christ has always been because he is and he always will be he can cover all age groups are you 90 Jesus was 90 he's been from everlasting to everlasting are you 17 in his humanity Christ was 17 are you 21 considering established in your home Jesus Christ was 21 what am I saying Jesus Christ was six months is there a baby around you know this lady who sang is carrying a lovely little burden not burden but a precious where is she now there was a lady who sang the special music where she go no no no the lady who sang the special music beef I stood up don't confuse your members but she's carrying a child Christ was that when that child is born she'll breastfeed the child Mary breastfed Jesus you're not listening to me let me say if Mary breastfed God and a couple hours later she changed God's daya now did he become flesh yes listen to me the one who said let there be light is the one who nursed at the breast of Mary how can you come any closer to humanity than to come through the womb you know Christ came to the earth in human form before he came in Bethlehem in Genesis 18 he came to Abraham with two servants or two angels but he came in human form not in human nature are you with me because he was not born are you following me no you're not following me when Christ came to Abraham in Genesis 18 he came in human form not human nature to come with the nature he had to come through a woman that happened in the Gospels there's a god who's from everlasting to everlasting you answer this for me if God can make the universe and sustain it hmm can he provide housing for you listen to Genesis chapter 2 verse 10 and a river went out of Eden to water the garden and from thence it was parted and became into four

green herb from me can God provide you with food yes the Lord God took the man and God put Adam into a deep sleep and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof and the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made he a woman and brought her unto the man can God find you a wife yes can God find you a man yes but let him find a man and the woman what am I saying God can supply your needs but he wants you to be one with him now God is so good he blesses the sinners this is a matthew 545 that he may be the children of your father which is in heaven for he maketh the Sun to

business of your life and so today I invite you to put your hand in the hand of Jesus accept his invitation What did he say handle me put your hand in my hand now let's walk together in a state of
