pray about and pray for because we're living in these crazy days these days of so much uncertainty but one thing for sure god is still in control amen amen so family as we prepare we want to continue to remember all families who are still grieving the ricotta family we laid to rest mother uh this past friday then we have uh brother trenton dennis home going service tomorrow at 10 o'clock want to

god have its way in in through their lives now father would you bless us in your message this morning as we understand even greater the power in the blood of the lamb of christ it will be ever so mindful and careful to return our praises all glory all honor unto you it's in jesus name we pray and we say amen and amen and family while you're standing if you don't mind we're not going to hold you too long this morning standing but we do want to read a few scriptures if you don't mind and our message today is actually the shed blood you know uh saved by the shed blood of christ and if you're visiting today in the program that you have there is a little uh detachment to the right of that where you can put a name or phone number if you're visiting today and uh you can fill it out in any of those boxes that are applicable to you just check them and then tear only that portion off as best you can in during our time of offertorial time just place it in the operatorial basket and as the senior pastor of our church at bethel's family i will personally give you a call before 10 pm tonight if for no other reason but to say thank you for being a part of our church family if you have any questions i'll be glad to try to get your questions answered as best that i could but welcome into the house of god at bethel's family and i want you to know that you're already welcome in many ways but family are scriptures in the book of isaiah chapter number 1 verse 17 and 18 let's read learn to do what is good pursue justice correct the oppressor defend the rights of the fatherless plead the widow's case come let's settle this says the lord though your sins are scarlet they will be as white as snow though they are crimson red they will be like wool isaiah 53 verse 3 he was despised and rejected by men a man of suffering who knew what sickness was he was like some once people turned away from he was despised and we didn't value him yet he himself bore our sickness and he carried on our plane and we in turn regarded him stricken struck down by god and afflicted but he was pierced because of our rebellion crushed because of our iniquities punishment for our peace was on him and we are healed by his wounds hebrew chapter 10 verse 19 therefore brothers and sisters since we have the boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of jesus he has integrated for us a new and living way through the curtain that is through his flesh and since we have a great high priest over the house of god let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith with our hearts sprinkled cleansed from an evil conscience in our bodies washed in pure water made a lot of blessing to the readers and hearers and doers of his word family on behalf of the month of october that actually focus in on domestic violence and we have to put some attention that is just too much bloodshed in the land there is too much bloodshed in the land man's inhumanity to man men killing women adults killing kids it's just too much blood that's being shared in the land and i know often we've become so i won't say doctrinalize but we become immune to the bloodshed that's in the land until it hits your house until it become personal because it happened so often that we don't think about the consequences but today is a day of liberation is a day in which you and i begin to go deeper and really find out what are the benefits that have come because of the shared blood of christ because he shed his blood there's no need for any more bloodshed amongst humanity our world is in a place where when men and women refuse to obey and honor god then they become an enemy of god and if they are an enemy of god they are enemy of god's people [Music] but i want to give you some nuggets today if you like scriptures we'll be covering a few besides the one we read because we got to begin to look at the benefits of the blood of jesus and why is so important that we pay attention to the shed blood of christ in romans chapter 1 verse 18 it says for the wrath of god is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness in other words they say is the right way to do wrong we are cleansed by the blood shed of christ but then i begin to look at there are seven areas where jesus shed his blood from one body and if you don't mind i give you the scriptures you can write them down and you can go back and study them later on but let's look at the life of jesus we're in luke chapter 22 verse 44 was he when he was in the garden of gethsemane you remember the bible says that sweat ran from his brow and the drops of sweat where the blood drops that because of what he was going through in a physical way in a human way the sweat that came from his brow was like drops of blood and it says being in agony he prayed more earnestly and his sweat was amen as though there were great drops of blood falling down to the ground if you remember he was in the garden of eden he was in the garden not have eaten but he was garden of gethsemane and he was in there getting ready to go to the trials as an innocent man to be crucified for the sins of this world [Music] and you remember he cried out to the father he says father if this cup can pass from me [Music] he was in agony because his physical body was about to go to the hardest point of death and you know what it's like to be punished when you're innocent but not just punished but crucified and when he looked upon the the earth and saw man's inhumanity to man in other words there were bloodshed happening then in his blood that was about to be spilled for the sins of the very ones who were going to crucify him and so jesus in the garden of gethsemane he won back your will power the shed blood has given you strength that you know not that you had many of you are stronger now because of his blood you're able to withstand a lot more than what you were able to endure before the shed blood of christ covered you [Music] that not only did the sweat from his bra but also on his face a matter of fact isaiah 50 and 6 says i gave my back to the smithers in my cheeks to them that plucked out my hair and i hid not my face from shame and from them spitting on me jesus allowed his physical body his face to be abused you know it's a dangerous thing to spit in another person's face you can get yourself killed especially today now they don't mind you spitting in their mouth but don't spit in their face that's for the newlyweds jesus was plucking out his beard and because of they spent in his face and he did not amen retaliate it was for your honor he was allowing you to know that in the life that you're living because the shed blood of christ people don't get in your face but because of the shared blood of christ you're able to stand in the midst of your enemy and still smile because your honor has been upheld because of christ then you think about his head it says in matthew chapter 27 verse 29 and when they had planted a crown of thongs they put it up on his head in a reed in his right hand and they bowed the knee before him and mocked him saying hell king of the jews and they spat upon him and they took the reed and they smote him they whipped him in his head the crown of thumbs upon his head gave you prosperity from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet god has covered you and that's why it's never good for a woman or a man in christ to ever walk around with their heads hung down i don't care what the situation might be i don't care what the scoreboard might say i don't care what the enemies are saying about you the honor in the spirit of god he's taking things so you can walk through it and then you think about what happened to his back when they released barabbas and they took a man jesus and they delivered him to crucify him and they whipped him and they beat him up on his back and because of his stripes the bible says because of his stripes you're healed that means he's overcome your health issue he overcome your physical anatomy when you're going through the storms of life i don't care what it is because of the strength that was put on christ you're not healed because god has the power in that think about his hands lord have mercy nailed to the rugged cross think about the pain that go into that think about bondage when they anybody restrain you and and put your hands in a place where they're not mobile you can't use them you're being restrained and what jesus did family he says i'm going to let them do me so you can keep your hands free that's why i don't play amen with handcuffs i don't a few years ago we had the you know the back to school stuff and we had the blue santa in here you know with law enforcement and in one of our offices who are here and you know what you know the blue santa would want to play say let's put you in some cups i said man i don't play that i don't play that amen i don't like to be restrained because my bible told me that when jesus set me free i'm free indeed come on not saying that and i'm not gonna let nobody amen wrap some twine or some vine or some cables or whatever around me to bond me up because that keep me from giving god the glory the praise and all the honor and sometimes family if i put it in a amen an analogy a category i'll put it like this sometimes you let your past handcuff you restrain you you let your mistakes amen keep you in the dark you can't be free based on what you have done in your life and that's why you got to realize god has already paid the ultimate price so you don't have to live in bondage the yoke has been broken lord have mercy and then your feet his feet riveted with spikes you know what he nailed him in his feet it's so because now you have dominion over every place you go [Music] every place your footstep you in charge somebody ought to say amen that's why david said ye though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil because thyroid and thy staff they comfort me amen you need a witness drop the shad wrap to me check in the video talk to daniel there's somebody on your pew right now that you can talk to and they have to walk through amen a dark past spell piece in their life in every place where the devil thought he would take them out god sustained them they had to go into the hospital room with no hope but god amen sustained them they had to be put out been homeless for a minute but god sustained them had a gun pointed at their head but god sustained them why god said you would never be in a place where i can't reach you the earth is the lord in the fullness thereof don't you know god still run everything and when he pierced in his side family his pierced in his heart it won back your jaw that's why we normally saying this is true this joy that i have this world didn't give it to me in this world sure can't take it away when you think about the shed blood of christ when you put it in perspective when you have jesus you have more than enough and when you understand the impact of the blood of the lamb of god there's no need for me and you to be going back and forth there's no need for you and me to be arguing about stuff there's no need for us to be throwing fists there's no need to be pulling weave out of their hair sister there's no need to be fighting in the street there's no need to be fighting the home there's no need there's no need because the shed blood of christ let me give you a few things that would do for you the first thing you ought to put in your pocket that the the shed blood of christ will save you from the wrath of god [Music] the wrath of god the shed blood because we were no good i was no good you were no good dumb dad no good dogs over there no good those over dead no good oh dip in the back no good you holding up the back wall no good you back there in the corner no good you back then south park no good you in sunny side no good you in midtown uptown downtown you no good white house blue house yellow house you no good i wish i had a witness in here [Applause] we're just no good but the shed blood of christ covered us from the wrath of god so he don't give us what our services demand see satan thought he had me here let me talk to y'all from south louisiana that boy thought he had me yeah [Applause] that boy had me here uh he was pouring down he said they he'd never be used look at him i'm the only one look at him over there rolling that joint look at him buying that point see satan had already calculated that we wouldn't be used by the lord he had already counted us out but you see what you got to realize god never took his eyes off of us in any plan that satan have god can cancel it he can veto every action of the devil somebody ought to say amen and because of that family we are aiming protected from the wrath of god but we also are cleansed and we are forgiven by the same blood that were shed forgiveness come in man will never forgive you not the way god does man has a tendency to remind you every time they see you so you know what y'all need to do get them all up so i'm only going to say this one time y'all come in oh y'all been talking come on in just do this one time one time only get out your cameras get your phone ons because i want i want to do it one time and one time only you start off saying listen i know i'm no good and there were days when i woke satan up because he slept late y'all got your cameras on you you got it ready i'm i want all y'all together because after today we're not going to have no more chibi chapter chipper championship i'm gonna get it all out myself you got your cameras rolling all right you got it you got filming the cameras good good good i know i was on my way to hell i went places i know i shouldn't have went i've danced in places where i shouldn't have danced i i i said this and i i hung out over there and and yeah i did all that i even got the hotel keys still in my pocket i i've been over there come on now say man and yes yes yes yes yes yes yes and i yes and i went to this little town and i i know about the doubletree i know about the fourth season and then when my money was shot i know about motel six come on i say amen now we gotta witness over here come on now say amen i know about the hole in the wall i know about the places where you only go at night when nobody can see you i know about parking on a side street and then walking across the street go through the backyard to get to miss sarah house i wish i had a witness right there i know about all those things but one day i heard the voice of the lord down in abbotvil louisiana pastor aj mays preached the gospel and he told me through the word of god that there's no sins there's no iniquities no transgression anything you have done god has the power to heal you restore you redeem you reconcile you and somewhere i heard that when i gave my life to christ he took a break eraser and he began to erase all the things i've done come on now say amen so satan started looking at my record and he couldn't find nothing he said i know of something in him because i saw it the other day but the blood came on and took my little case and he couldn't find nothing he came he got to be there somewhere you show this is his because i saw it this past monday i started this past saturday but where is it where is it where all i see is this blood all i see is the blood and that's all satan need to see because you've been covered by the blood you don't have to live in your past you've also been justified our behavior doesn't qualify we're not good enough but we have been justified by faith because it says in romans chapter 4 verse 5 it says abraham believed god and his fate was countless righteousness in other words whatever you've done [Music] the shed blood of christ have justified you to be there see some people gonna be really really upset when y'all get to heaven [Music] because they're always going to be somebody in hell looking up what they doing over there they did what i was doing back then 1977 1987 1997 1999 2014 they were with me but then they gonna hear a voice from heaven say yes they were with you down now but they heard the gospel message and they surrendered their life to my son jesus the christ and right there in the midst of their road on going to hell i snatched them up my son washed them up he cleaned them now the places they used to go they just don't go no more people they hung out with they just don't hang out with them no more the blood has washed them you had an opportunity to give your life to my son jesus but you chose not to but they did amen when you've been forgiven but not only you've been reconciled you've been justified god has brought you back you've been redeemed you've been bought you've been purchased been purchased by the blood of the lamb of god you've been delivered these hands don't roll done no more now really i never smoked though but i know you know what we just hand no don't roll no more i was always scared of the drug because i always want to be in my right mind but i roll some people in my days row row row your boat gently at the hotel merrily merrily merrily [Applause] let me move on the shed blood delivered us and then watch this family right in the midst of all things the shed blood give you an abundance [Music] jesus says i come that you might have life in life more abundantly god don't want you and i settling too many believers settle when god got much more for you lord have mercy and every now and then god test us [Music] several years ago when his church was in his infant infancy stage we were in the apartment complex and because of the work we did i had a lot of people that knew me and one of the things i would do i said listen if anybody have any cars that they want to donate got some people that need some wheels and i promise you in the life of this church if i have not given away 50 cars i haven't given away one but i remember i had a car on the on the parking lot had the keys in my pocket and the title and i went to this sister that i know was walking and i said uh i said baby listen you have a driver's license well i need a driver's license i ain't got no car i hate me going nowhere i said i guess you won't sometimes god approach you and he comes to you with a different message but you're not listening and you cancel out your own blessing [Applause] god does it all the time god want to expand your territory christians should not be settling the earth is the lord and the fullness thereof he owns absolutely everything and you are an inheritance bearer of the cross everything god have belonged to his children then he comes in family through life and give you victory through his shed blood that's why you never would see pastor august with a defeated spirit not this pastor not this man now that little woman right there been with me for 34 years almost well 36 years almost and that little woman right there ruby august she followed me blindly not at first though wide open but you know i'm a consistent fate walker i'm consistent in what i do she's not worried about what she gonna eat or what she gonna wear she knows he's not concerned about bills as a matter of fact she don't even have a key to the mailbox why would she need that i saw color purple i'm a mister too she don't have no bills at my house then brother said all right [Applause] come on grab that that's enough right there ready because see your spirit if you walk around with a defeated spirit it impact the people that's depending on you in the midst of the storm that's always a ray of sunshine there's always a light at the end of the tunnel because we have victory because the shed blood of christ i might be down right now but that's temporary and i never let y'all know be my no become permanent because my god told me in philippians 4 13 that i can do all things to christ that strengthens me he told me if i would just line up and seek him first in his righteousness all the things shall be added unto me he told me in matthew chapter 7 to just ask to just seek and to knock on the doors and if i ask it shall be given if i seek i will find and if i knock on the door it shall be open god said that [Applause] god said that so victory is ours now you have access that's what hebrew 10 speaks about verse 19 20 21 22. now you have access you don't have to go through another person to get to the kingdom of god you have now a direct line no matter where you are you can amen you he's his line is never too big you can go right to him because so often we've been taught we got to go through people the curtain has been torn the veil the flesh had been torn you got straight access jesus says in john 14 and 6 he says i am the way i am the truth in the life no man go to the father except they come through me not pastor august not this deacon not the bishop not the pope nobody else but jesus and in the final thing family the shared blood of christ reverses every curse [Music] because all of us have had curses in our family and i'm not talking about just being cussed out we do that too but i'm talking about generational curses the shed blood of christ reverse the curses that's been placed over your family let's go back to my second favorite movie the five heartbeats eddie king eddie kane daddy eddie kane daddy cursed him you say you ain't nothing because i ain't that and you'll never be none and sometimes you still hear that stuff sometimes people that attend church tell you foolishness like that where your mom ain't you never did nothing you're dead in them you're worthless i don't care if your mama slept with every man in the world god can break that curse i don't care if your father was the biggest hormone in louisiana god can break that curse all your folks can be in jail god can break that curse i wish i had a witness in here every woman in your family had babies at 13 14 and 50 god can break that curse you know why he can break it because the shed blood of christ that's why you got to get in the blood yourself because the blood still works the blood still have power it can break the curses and when you're under the shed blood of christ then you can speak blessings because there are blessings that flow from the shared blood of christ that's why you hear me continually say that no weapons formed against you shall prosper you often hear me tell me tell you the only one that can stop the blessings from coming to you is you somebody ought to say amen because god is in the blessing business and when you're covered with the blood of the lamb of god that's all you need you and jesus is the majority i don't let what they call me become me come on i say amen you can call me this and you can call me that i'm good with that because see one of the things i know that's only one that really know me and he don't look like you come on not say amen he looked like a statue of a tree on a cross and the bible says he got amen he got bronze skin he got amen wool looking hair and they call him jesus they call him emmanuel they call him the savior of the world some calling the lily of the valley the bright end of the morning star he's my brother when i need him he's my father when i need him he's my peace when i need my joy when i need him whatever i need his name is jesus his name is i'm not afraid to say his name his name is jesus so when i get up in the morning it's all jesus all through the day it's still jesus late at the midnight hour i'm still calling on the name of jesus when i get sick i don't call your name your name don't have no power come on now say amen but i call on the name of jesus and he steps in right in the nick of time and change the trajectory of my life it's his name the bible says every name every name every name every person have to bow down to this name because the day is coming with every knee shall bow every tongue must confess the lord jesus someone call his name now i have all the hallelujahs in the world because of the shed blood of christ so if you never see me down that's why because the shed blood of christ i don't have to have a dime in my pocket there's nothing in my wallet right now but i'm not gonna be concerned about what i don't have when i have him because i've been walking with jesus long enough to know he would drop what i need when i need it he did it for the israelites back in the old testament when the israelites had to go through the wilderness 40 years they were in the witness 40 whole years their shoes amen never were out their clothing never wore out they didn't have no clorox in no tide they didn't have no shout it out come on not say man they didn't have no piggy wigglys they didn't have no wall marth they didn't have no h.e.b but they ate every day come on not say amen didn't have no coca-cola didn't have no pepsi but they drink every day come on i say amen and whatever god did for them while they were walking through the wilderness god is still doing it right here for me come on now say amen god not concerned about no recession god's not concerned about what man think he can and cannot do my god is a miracle working god that's power in the blood of the lamb of god power power power in the blood of the lamb of god the saving power saving power he saved me from myself save me from my neighbors save me from my brothers in the street save me from the men that i grew up with saved he saved me he saved me he saved me he saved me father god we thank you thank you for your salvation thank you for the shared blood of jesus and under my voice god there could be a man a woman boy a girl that needed this message this morning i pray oh god there will be a spirit of surrendering [Music] they can surrender their life to you right now father many who are visiting i'm so blessed god they're caught in the wilderness right now [Music] because of this pandemic so many sheep have been scattered they can't even find their shepherds [Music] in the name of jesus let them know that god you're everywhere all at the same time in the name of jesus god draw their master into the four they don't have to be scattered god waiting for the shepherd to show up and the shepherd is already here jesus is already here so open up their hearts god jesus to come to you surrender their life join the body of believers who believe that there's nothing too hard for you to do lord join a body of believers that believe in a bible teaching church believing that we're not perfect oh god but we strive to walk faithfully with you each and every day and god when we do it wrong we're the first to repent see jesus let them know they can make it to heaven from here jesus then prepare our hearts god to partake in the lord's supper please jesus jesus please master cleanse us purify us so draw a master in jesus name we pray we say amen my brother my sister if you want to surrender your life to the lord today for the first time or maybe you already a believer you need a church home you need a church family [Music] why don't you gather your things and come to the altar there's no one in here that's more important than anybody else i am

parish working in the schools to make a difference with the young people and also the parents in the community as a whole just to do a few things to make things better over the last nine months i've actually joined and helped to organize the neo-mock projects of acadiana an organization that's geared to transforming communities and transforming the lives for generations to come we end up buying property in abbeville of the old school where james herrick used to be and we have uh schematics and architectural drawings for our new facility which is and thirty six thousand square foot facility that will eventually house a charter school grade six to twelve that will also have a health care unit on the inside for the adults and children alike also economic development would happen there job placement and job training and much more to bring the kind of development that every generation and every family in that abbeyville area will be blessed of a million parish for that particular program we also have our headquarters we're office out of the downtown abbeville area the physical address is 100 south state street and our office is manned uh the lord has provided the neomark project with a 13-member board we're not paid to do this we all volunteer our time and all of these individuals are highly skilled and they're all professionals working in their own arenas but we have come together for such a time like this one to help our community help our parish and help our state uh make a difference in the lives of everybody that lives in the vicinity of that area so go to our website is www.thenpai.org go to our website you will see everything that you need to see and learn about the vision about our board members about what we're planning on doing and here's where i need your help we're raising uh the funds to build the educational facility the facility that would house you know 800 kids at one time teaching them and educating them in technology giving them a scholarly a college educational curriculum so once they finish high school hopefully they would have enough credits to also receive an associate degree at the same time then providing the health components there's nobody in that community that need to go without general health screenings and health checks up to the immunizations and all that goes on that we need from that perspective and then of course we want to also help economically uh helping with job placement job training business development so that model would be able to sustain and also enhance and encourage generations to come when you go to our website you might see a form like this one or you should see it or you can even glue into this one here it's a membership form we're asking you to consider becoming a member of the neomi project of acadiana and it's a simple form even your children can become members and the simple donation of the children a dollar a month twelve dollars a year and then you as a parent you as a business leader you can figure out what you would like to contribute to the overall success of the neomark projects of acadiana this is here for you and for us if you like to call me personally my cell phone number is 713-962-6602 i'm located in houston uh three or four of our board members are not in the louisiana area but we are from louisiana we have 70 percent of our board who live in vermillion parish in proximity and so we are there to serve we are there for you and whatever we can do we want to make a difference we have the mayor support mayor mark piazza we have the city council of abbeville we have vermillion parish police juror who has also given us their blessings the city attorney many of the business owners in that region and also fate leaders have also shared that they're in support of what we're doing so thank you for the privilege of giving me this opportunity to invite you to join us in our efforts of raising those funds necessary so we can see better days for generations to come god bless you and may god continue to keep us it's in his name we always pray but thank you god bless y'all should be clapping you shouldn't you know that right out of all the things the pastor ought to be doing and working with we're working to make it better for somebody else and that's what it's all about family but also today because many of you are like me you do have roots in louisiana or you do have roots for ex for education for kids uh there's a table that we have out to the left in the corner back over here outside this room there's a table where you can actually sign up to join our efforts to be a member of the organization and whatever god lay on your heart to do we have eight grandchildren and i've already signed all of my grandkids up to do a blessing and a donation because they're going to get money when we go anyway so i want to use some of that money that they can sow into a school that would make a difference for generations to come family if we don't take care of what we have in our own then you tell me who will we waste money on a lot of stuff so i'm praying today that if god prick your heart just go to the table it's in the foyer you can sign up right there and then look at the card look at also the building and what god is doing all i do i ask god said god i just want you to use me and that's what god does and you all know me if we can go to kenya we can go to uganda we can go to haiti we can go to belize we can go to jamaica we can go to cozumel costa rica we can go to hawaii we sure can go to abbeville we sho can go to louisiana amen so just stop by that table and get the information because this is our ground with effort to make life different what's going to happen i believe is going to challenge the public schools to do a better job and it's not the teachers it's the red tape in the administrations and it's also the politics that don't give the teacher the kind of money they need to do the kind of work that they need with the kids and they don't set a standard of excellence for all kids amen that's what it's all about so thank y'all why don't y'all stand family if you don't mind [Music] how sweet the sound that like me [Music] i'm in the book of matthew 26 beginning at the 26th verse jesus was in the upper room with his disciples and he had taken some bread he broke and he blessed him he said well take heed for this is my body he took the cup he gave thanks and told them drink all of it for this is my blood which was shed for the many for the remissions of sin and to him who is able to keep us from falling may the sweet holy communion may it rest may it abide may it rule with all of us until we all come together again let us all sing god bless you family god bless you thank you in
