are pastor dean reed dean all right all right you are not okay thank you it's okay i'll deal with that praise god i know it came to me that pastor dean reed of the euroton gospel lighthouse church he was robbed and stabbed thank god he's still alive we know that the lord is touched with the feelings of our infirmities we know not why he would allow such activity devious activity to take place with his son and we are not going to ask any question but we are going to just cover our brother with the blood of jesus christ and that he will receive speedy recovery because of the hand of god that we believe has already been outstretched to him do you believe that church amen praise god hallelujah are you ready to worship the lord with your tithes and offering amen i'll do that and then i get out of the way i want us to understand that god honors our faithfulness god sees every heart and he knows what we are going through and so even as we get ready now to worship the lord with our tithes and offering i'd want to assure you that the job that you have was provided by god i want to assure you that the means of income that you now enjoy has been provided by god and i as the pastor of this church i become the steward of the finances of this church they do not belong to me but i tell you that as you worship the lord with your offering and tides that the lord is taking a note of your faithfulness and all i can do is to commit you and your offering on your tithes into the hands of god my brothers and sisters we can never out give god we have been singing it from morning all our lives he has been faithful so this becomes our opportunity now to be faithful in our giving i have a brown envelope in my hand i have not looked in it i have not asked how much is in it and you may ask me why i make reference to this because something is happening by this presentation this morning that i believe is a step of great faith in god and i am confident that my god honors faithfulness i i am i am a product of the faithfulness of god and i i i never in my years of ministry that was started in 1995 have i ever seen something like this but i am watching god and all of us are going to see what he is going to do i know you're thinking what is pastor talking about last week sunday a child was dedicated here and this morning the parents brought this envelope and gave to me and it was explained to me that since the birth of this child every dollar that was given to that child the parents have started to tithe on behalf of that child i have never seen it before in my entire mystery in ministry pastor have you ever seen anything like this this child was born in the latter part of last year just a few months old was dedicated last week and i have an envelope which says the first seed fail with joshua powell joshua is the son of one of our officers brother merrick paul one of our praise team members god has a plan and all we have to do is to allow him to work his plan i do not want to worry you or bother you but i want to say to you that miracles still take place miracles still take place i am convinced as i am standing here that god has a purpose for joshua powell from pregnancy this mother has been having some of the worst times of her life and you as a weakness here on two different occasions once in a service like this and once in a fasting service i believe with all my heart that god worked miracles in our very presence and like hannah hannah before the lord in the temple at jerusalem even eli could not understand what was happening in hannah's life but the good thing about it is that hannah made a pledge and hannah said god if you give me a male child i'm gonna give him back to you for the rest of his life and i gave back the child named samuel i know what a prophet god raised him up to be let the lord have his way that's all i ever say today father receive the tides and offering from the hands the pockets the purses the accounts of your children lord today is a very special day i believe with all my heart that as your children worship you today that is the start of something new and different honor your words honor your promises your vows are from everlasting to everlasting and none will return done to your void because your promises are for your people so even now lord open the store houses of heaven first of all receive that which your children will supply to you and we are confident that you will be returning to your children according to your word it will be good measure it will be pressed down and it will be shaken together and not only that it will be running over lord these two envelopes represent all those tides and offering that will come in today lord one from joshua powell and the other from anne-marie viola davis with a telephone number and an amount lord be faithful to your children in jesus name we pray amen let's get ready to worship i'm rejoicing night and day as i walk this pilgrim way for the hands of god in all my life i see and the reason of my bliss yes the secret all is this [Applause] [Music] hallelujah [Applause] with me [Music] with me once my heart was full of sin once i had no peace within till i heard how jesus died upon the tree then [Music] [Applause] with me [Music] rejoicing night and day as [Music] [Applause] he is with me everywhere and he does my everyday [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hallelujah [Applause] [Music] [Applause] within [Music] leave [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] with me [Music] rejoicing nights [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] as

me [Applause] [Music] night and day [Music] [Applause] i'm rejoicing night and day [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] it is now time for me to take myself out of the way and let the spirit of god increase in this place our bishop will be coming with the word but before that i will invite sister i'm mary tomlinson to come with a special item please stand when our bishop is coming to the podium [Applause] good morning church i'm living proof of what the mercy of god can do [Music] if you knew me then you were new right now you turned my whole life upside down he took the old and he made it new that's just what the mercy of god can do now i'm alive to tell the story how i've overcome this is goodness and mercy and the power of his blood and i'm so glad that my freedom wasn't based on what i've done but his goodness and mercy and the power of the blood oh goodness and mercy and the power of the blood i'm living through of what the mercy of god can do and if you knew

blood and i'm so glad that my freedom wasn't based on what i've done [Music] and mercy and the power of his blood oh goodness and mercy and the power of the blood and i thought i deserved [Music] to be six feet beneath the earth for all the things i've done and the things i've said the choice is made that i regret [Music] hallelujah hallelujah god you are worthy of all praise god you're worthy of all honor what this song is saying is [Music] it's saying that sinners were like me like us i'm speaking for myself like me god where god took me from i didn't know that i was i would be right here where i am no i thought i deserved to be six feet i thought i deserved to die i thought because of my sins because of all the things that i've done god wouldn't forgive me but thank god for jesus god is indeed a forgiving god and that's what this song is saying saying that i'm alive to tell the story of how i've overcome because of god's goodness because of god's grace and of god's mercy so there are so many persons sometimes you do something wrong and you think that god will never forgive you god is a forgiving god god has forgiven me god has forgiven so many other people some person some

again but rather each time that is a plural term my wife and i you heard that early on all right good god bless you my brothers and sisters can you just stand with me for the reading of the word of the lord and for those persons who came in after the official welcome was given i just want to welcome you heartily to your father's house and to let you know that you are here for a purpose today amen amen and i'm sure that purpose will be fulfilled it's in john chapter 15 very well known passage of scripture verses 1 through to 7. it reads thus i am the true vine and my father is a husband man every branch in me that beareth not fruity taketh away and every branch that beareth fruit we purge it that it may bring forth more fruit now we are clean through the word which i have spoken unto you abide in me and i in you as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine no more can ye accept he abide in me verse 5 i am the vine ye are the branches he that abideth in me and i in him the same bringeth forth much fruit for without me ye can do nothing if a man abide not in me he is cast forth as a branch and is withered and men gather them and cast them into the fire and they are burnt verse 7 if he abide in me and my words abide in you you shall ask what he will and it shall be done unto you i'd like to share with you a theme that the lord has laid on my heart for this day's worship service stay connected to the true vine you may be seated brother pj over to you sir not even nothing can separate paul said who can separate me from the love of god not even death can separate me he said behold i show you a mystery we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed because we are connected to somebody i'm connected i'm connected [Music] come on [Music] stay connected [Music] stay connected [Music] stay connected to god [Music] to say [Music] oh [Music] don't hold back [Music] keep striving [Music] strive to gain to please [Music] but [Music] you can help us with come on [Music] let me hear you [Music] all right i know you still want to dance right sister robinson okay that's a part of my message don't worry amen i start preaching already and you don't know amen praise god amen praise the name of the lord that's what we really want to concentrate on today stay connected to the vine my brothers and sisters i'd want to say to you that the gospel from which we share today the gospel according to saint john that it is an authentic report that john has given with regards to the utterances of jesus i say that because john was referred to as the disciple that jesus loved according to saint john 13 13 23 john was also the brother of james and the son of zebedee and these theologians will tell us that according to biblical history it is said that john was one of those persons who lived the longest of all the 12 apostles and that he was the only one of them that died a natural death all the other suffered martyrdom but there's also something else about john that i'd want to share with you in order to give credence to that which i will present today is the fact that john's gospel is a little bit different from the the other three gospels because while matthew mark and luke concentrate upon recording the events of jesus's life and ministry john dwells upon the spiritual meaning of all that jesus did and so you're gonna find that in john that there are so many more bibles that jesus would share because he used them to bring out strong spiritual points and so therefore as we seek to draw from the recordings of john and want to say to us that we can proceed without a shadow of a doubt that christ was being exemplified in a very powerful way and so here it is that as jesus spoke he wanted to use one of a practical means to demonstrate a spiritual reality and so when he got to the point where he had the attention of his disciples together it was a time when he was saying to them guess what i am going to be leaving you and i don't have much to give you but i'm going to leave with you some things that will remain with you for life it will be a spiritual legacy that has eternal values and so my brothers and sisters he turned to his disciples and he turned to us here in commodore today and he said i am the true vine and here he makes specific reference to his divinity there are many other vines and there are many other bloodlines but there is only one true vine who is jesus christ the son of the living god hallelujah he's the only true vine that supplies that which human needs will often be reaching out for and so therefore he said that he is not only the true vine but rather he is he is saying to us that my father is a husband man my father is the one who takes care of this vine hallelujah i'd want to allow us to understand brothers and sisters that christ is a true vine as truth is opposed to pretense and counterfeit there is no pretense in christ there is no counterfeit in christ what you see is what you get because that's the genuine stuff hallelujah and so therefore he presents himself as a truth that is free of pretense and counterfeit i am many others have declared that they are and there were but there is only one jesus the son of the living god hallelujah who was yesterday is today and will be tomorrow and he says in the same text here that you can pick it out is that he does not exist on his own but he is under the leadership of his father amen he is under the full control and protection of his father because his father is the husband man his father takes care of him his father gives him substance his father gives him life [Music] hallelujah and i want for us to understand that when we say we believe in jesus that we are believing in a god that cannot fail hallelujah we are believing in a god that was yesterday is today and will be tomorrow long after we are gone i am the true vine that's a profound truth hallelujah and so he said and all of this is placed in an agricultural term and i know we have agriculture is here but we need to understand something that out of this same text we see where he's speaking of authority he's speaking according to verse 1 of saint john 1 1 in the beginning was the word and the word was with god he speaks also my brothers and sisters of of of power because he can do all things through christ in john 1 and verse 3 without him there was nothing and according to verse 4 of of first john of saint john chapter 1 we will also see where there is is his authority his confidence and his power came out and stood out oh like a lightning bolt in a dark night my brothers and sisters when we think about the term in which this text is presented and when we match it against agricultural performances we will understand that the vine is is is that which produces the grape the vine produces the fruit and so jesus said guess what every branch in me that bear with not fruit he take it away who take it away the husbandman take it away why is it taken away because it is bearing no fruit this particular branch seem to be occupying a space that others can and so the husbandman in his wisdom the growth and production of this vine is concerned he removes that that that that branch that unproductive branch and every branch that be a red fruit what does he do he projects it that it may do what bring forth more fruit amen it tells me that god the father the husband man the father of jesus christ he is a firm believer in fruitfulness hallelujah as children of god we are expected to be fruitful we are expected to produce results we are expected to maintain a positive contact because if not this scripture is clear and so verse 4 ties that up very nicely he says guess what abide in me and i in you as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself abide in me and i in you so when he said i am the true vine and we are the branches he comes now to say understand it a little more if the branch is disconnected from the vine then the branch is going to become useless and so i say to you today stay connected to the vine i wonder if i'm coming clear now i'm saying to somebody today that jesus has already said it and all i have to do is to rehearse it and to live it abide in me and i in you as the branch cannot independently operate on its own and be productive it must abide in divine there must be a connection somewhere it says not only is it that you can't abide on your own but you're not going to bring forth any fruit because you are severed from the main fruit bearing vine you have been cut off from the source and so i stand here to say to somebody today let's check ourselves let's check ourselves church of god and i stand here as your pastor today to help all of us that we do what that we remain connected to the true vine because can i tell you that we may be looking good sinning on the prayer stream moderating singing on the choir oh lord god help me today hey we may be coming to church sunday after sunday and many may be preaching the gospel so we feel but we are divinely severed from the branch and so i say to all of us to the preachers and all let's check ourselves and make sure that we are one connected to divine [Applause] hallelujah so in common terms we can still be dressed up in trippy suit hunting we can be dressed up in the most finely decorated outfit we may be as as handsome as the morning sun but can i tell you we can be disconnected from the vine and so i call all of us today to that day when we bowed before the lordship of jesus christ and say come into my heart lord jesus i take you right back to that place because we need to go back take me back says to the place where i first receive you hallelujah and let us my brothers and sisters in these last and closing days let us check ourselves that our connection is really in place because the word of the lord says except we abide in the vine no more can ye accept you abide in me hallelujah jesus was giving a word here that continues to reverberate in our hearts he says on so many occasions between verse 1 and verse 5 i am the true vine abide in me stay right where you are continue to maintain your contact with me because that's the only time that you're going to be valuable under any substance oh god i give a word of caution to some persons today whether we are here or listening from there can i tell you get back to almighty god hello many things can come between oh you and god many times that can cause a severing of the relationship but let us say to god today i want to be reconnected i want to stay connected to the true vine and nothing is going to remove me because i love what i have i love the experiences i'm having and i want to be a productive vine in the kingdom of almighty god somebody showed hallelujah in the place [Applause] hallelujah hallelujah christ being the vine the believers are the branches my brothers and sisters the believers are the branches and then he mentally disturbed further he says again just in case we didn't remember i am the vine here are the branches he that abideth in me and i in him praise god the same bringeth forth much fruit for without me you can do nothing can i serve a word of encouragement to somebody today who yes you are getting on in life and it seems like everything is okay but i call on you today check your connection with god shake your connection with god because that is critical because throughout all of your life so far god has been faithful but there is going to come a time when that faithfulness have been exhausted because the opportunities have been extended time and time and time again and yet you have not taken heed yet you have not sought for the true value of abiding in a vine that cannot fail who is jesus christ the son of the living god [Music] can i tell you what my grandparents would have said to me many times brother mckenzie when i think that we can general them and get around them because they're like a younger brain and they're supposed to be all foot now understand he said let's what lung rope shall catch amen yeah that is to say you think that you have gotten away but little do you know that you are ensnared my dad many years ago my half brother and i we tried to pull her fast when him we want to go to one night i want to get around him and he just looked at us and he just laughed and he said guess what you boys you see anything you taking up now is what may put on long time and he didn't have to say anything more we got the message sister mckenzie we can't outsmart those persons who have been there and i say all of that to say this many of us sometimes think we can outsmart god some of us think that we are smarter than god and so god now understand what is happening here but i call all of us to let us understand that we are only fooling ourselves because if we are not connected to divine then we are not going to be fruitful and we are going to see the sad realities of all of that and so i call upon god's people today as it is being put forth he said for without me you can do nothing that's the word of almighty god hallelujah let me say to you brothers and sisters that when we think about abiding in the vine that branch will be full of life will be full of substance to produce fruit will be able to hold this place within the life of that branch but whenever verse 6 steps in then the picture changes completely because verse 6 says if a man abide not in me if a man abide not in me he is set forth as a branch and what happened to that branch that branch withers i have i've brought one amen as as i as i prepared to share this word today i thought of a practical way you won't want to know of just how to help to demonstrate all of this now yesterday evening when i went to my wise flower tree and when i looked at the shoots that were coming out they were vibrant they were green and pretty [Music] full of life was a beauty to behold and all of that was possible because what this was abiding on the vine up to that time when it was removed the leaves were green and lively but look at it today it has been removed from the branch and what starts happening how that one look that one look feeded and broke down and going out and the same thing over there it can't even maintain its own height because the head is bowed and because the substance the life-giving substance that was feeding this growth has been removed and as a result of that it starts to wither i would not like for any one of god's people to attain this posture in god hearing somebody will say at one time you had a lovely testimony you were able to sing you were able to preach you were able to pray but all of a sudden everything is gone from you i would not want to be the prophet of doom but i present to you the truth [Music] that anytime you are removed from the main source of life then death sets in lord god almighty [Applause] [Music] hallelujah [Music] any time you are severed from the true unliving god sad to say according to scripture you're going to wither and you're going to dry up and you're gonna die oh god my heart pains me this afternoon this morning brother what is your reality and so i say to every believer here according to his song man early on stay connected to the true vine to the real vine to the only life-giving vine because without him you can do nothing without him i can be nothing my wife is here as a living weakness for the first time for a long time i said to her yesterday that i'm going to be sharing today and this is a theme that i'll be sharing on for the longest while she don't know what i'm going to preach when i come to church but yesterday i was i was i was inspired to share with her and we spoke about that song was still connected yes she didn't know that are going to get it played this morning but she knew and so maybe when she missed some of her shoots out of our flowers and saw them put on on the front porch from last night she said she never see them that is so good you know i'm gonna say something about her to aid this message this morning at our home we do some planting and quite some time ago we had a bean tree in a particular area listen to this it may sound humorous but you'll see where i'm going and long after that being tree died i saw a young shoot of being coming up so all i did was to mold the root of it let it grow a little stronger and that being starts to shoot up and then that being covered up a sweet sub tree and she has her plants on the right side and on the left side of that sweet subtree so you know the bean they don't stop running so it finds some nice flowers to hog up also yes and i start get some stories in my head because my wife is saying you'll see how you'll make your bean or to kill me flowers so i said to her honey at least we cannot eat the beans but i've never seen anybody eat the flowers he said well guess what guess what you'll soon find out something so i said honey okay i'm pulling up my bean you know because it just start beer and we have to eat being afraid now we started bearing i did about two reapings of it already but last week one day i went up to the bean you see she started laughing and i i realized that one whole part of the bean look like say either dead and he said to me since they didn't know this only to find out that sister reed visit the bean tree and tear up the being after they are flowers and so all that part that he tore up for the flowers you know what happened it get torn off at the me and vine and how did i know because a city leave them star door i see they leave them start dry up because they have that particular section has been removed from the main vine and that part can't bear anymore being but with all it does is to dry up vicks and dry up because it has been severed from the main source i wonder if somebody understand what i'm saying to you i am saying to somebody today in the hearing of my voice stay connected to the main vine if you want to remain alive and well in god because once you are severed you are going to dry up your fruitlessness in god is as a result of your dispatch from the main being on the contrary your fruitfulness in god is dependent on your connection with god therefore i say to you today if you really want to remain fruitful stay connected to the main vine clap your hands or jesus somebody [Music] oh god [Music] brother gray i say without correction when an individual has a relationship with god it is evident can i repeat for emphasis and somebody don't stone me for this when an individual have a relationship with god it is evident can i say to somebody those over there did not hear that when an individual has a relationship with god it is evident because you see the benefits you see the loveliness you see the liveliness you see god living through that individual because that person is connected to the true vine hallelujah can i tell you my brothers and sisters it is a vision and the prayers of your pastor that every individual who are connected to almighty god in this church that you remain alive that you remain well that god will continue to pour into you the fullness of his glory hallelujah man i feel the glory of god being released a while ago i feel the glory of god being released a while ago i feel the glory of god being released [Music] thank you jesus thank you lord hallelujah hallelujah yesterday evening i used my mashed to cut out these shoots from the tree it's not a mushy that is going to cut you off [Music] you hear me it's not a mushy it is not a knife it is not a gun that is going to cut you off from god i wonder if you want to hear some of the things that will cause us to become disconnected oh blessed be the name of the lord jesus christ hallelujah hallelujah hey you see any time we take our eyes off jesus i wonder if do i make sense preacher man preacher man does it does it make sense you any time we take our eyes off jesus sister winston you're going to have a negative effect you are a revered praise team leader in this church since i come here i've realized that people respect you for the standard and the quality of life that you live as a believer and you are who you are because of the grace of god but can i tell you sister winston anytime you take your eyes off jesus can i talk to you then people here are going to understand that something different about sister winsome nah man she used to sing better than that she used to look better than that she used to take care of herself better than that she used to be able to speak more authoritatively any time you take your eyes off jesus you'll start [Music] dry up and it becomes evident so [Music] according to scripture preachers peter was doing well as he walked on the water as long as what he kept his eyes on jesus hallelujah glory to god can i repeat that for emphasis peter in the midst of a storm was doing well as he walked in the water making his way to jesus as long as he kept his eyes on jesus but scripture tells us that when he took his eyes off jesus he started to sink he started to go down because he has changed his focus i'm saying to somebody here maintain your focus on jesus [Music] and you'll be much better than how this one looks [Music] and so there's another route that i'd like to take you down when we gaze at the world we're going to lose our vision and we are going to lose our connection this is what first john 2 15-17 tells us first john 2 15-17 it says and i talked to the young people today i talked to the teens today i talk to the men i talk to the ladies i talk to our visitors i speak to you from a heart that is controlled by the spirit of god in leading the membership of this church from earth to glory and to make us rapture ready he says as first in first john in chapter one and verse 15 he says guess what love not the world and i'm talking about those things that will cause us to be disconnected from god hallelujah and on me says i'm quoting your scriptures first john 1 15 love not the world [Music] neither the things that are in the world oh god help me i know we are not saying you know that you should not enjoy your your your investment and enjoy life but what what what john was saying here don't put these things before god because when that happens something negative is going to happen it is it is a cut out from the rest he says if any man love the world the love of the father is not in him because he says also for all that is in the world [Music] is the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life it is not of the father but it is of the world i wonder if anybody is hearing or understanding me today i am saying to you under the theme stay connected to the vine and don't allow the things of the world to cut your flag you all my and make you dry up spiritually because verse 17 says the world passes away and they lost thereof but he that doeth the will of the father abided forever now we have to decide what we want are we going to abide forever or are we going to allow the world to disconnect us from god and hear what the closing chapter twirling verses of this says if any man abide not in me he's cast fought as a branch cut off and dash way and not only that but he's withered and when they are withered men do what gather them up let me gather i try your way there gather them gather them up because they know amen and so therefore they are dried up they are good for nothing so men gather them up and cast them into the fire and they are burnt that's the final thing for the withered branch that has lost contact with the true vine i'm saying to you we cannot allow that to happen to us we have a responsibility as a people of god as the clock says it's running towards midday i am closing but let me say this to you because i wanted to just get a little bit more out of this i wanted to find out what happens on the contrary to the persons that and the things that will be burnt that will be discarded and will be of no news and so i i called on brother david i said brother david do you have any information that can help me to take my mind of this negative oh burning of the of the of the brain of the branch that is removed from the vine and brother david says to me jeff reed i want you to turn i have an information for you and i want you to benefit from that today and so when i consulted brother david said listen me here is what i say to you in psalm 1 and verse 1 he said blessed is he man hallelujah that walketh not in the concert of the ungodly boy but standing in the witness and that in the way of sinners now seated in the seat of this convoy he said listen to me just read but his delight is in the law of the lord that is a man that is abiding in divine amen and is in his law does he meditate day and night we are drawing from a source that can never go dry because we are drawing from the only true and living source because guess what my brothers and sisters when we continue to draw from that source and to remain alive in god hear what he says he says you know what happened as you continue to draw as you continue to live connected to the vine he said you shall be like a tree that is planted hallelujah by the river of life oh god almighty doesn't this look lively does this look healthy amen because this tree is connected by roots into the earth and the earth is sucking the substance from the earth and it is shown forth in its growth and development it is full of life it is green and a color to a chlorophyll yes the chlorophyll content in this plant is rich because you know what happened it is drawing from a source oh hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah this year is befitting verse 3 of psalm 1. he shall be like a tree that is planted by the river of life that bringeth forth his fruit in his caesar he comes right back to the shack of saint john chapter um 15 he says that he's going to bring forth his fruit in his season it is tied into it that once it is connected it is going to be fruitful bring forth his fruit in his season and guess what unlikely they dry up one in here and lightly of one he says his leave shall not breathe do those these look like they are withering no does this one look like it's with a ring you know the difference even if i stick it no connection even if i stick it in there it's not going to change the status because it is not connected this one has roots that is gone down and is sucking from the source this one has no roots i said therefore whatever i do it this one shall prosper but then verse 4 and there i close into verse 5 he says the ungodly the ungodly the one that is not connected the one that has no root the one that is sucking no substance the ungodly are not so we're right back to saint john chapter 15. he says but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away therefore concluding the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous for the lord knowing the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly shall perish hallelujah today by the help of almighty god i have presented to you the formula for life in god and the formula that will cause death in the absence of god i ask a question today which of these will you choose will you choose to be like a tree that is planted hallelujah by the rivers of water that will bring forth his fruit in due season how will you choose the one that is withered and is cast away for a furnace the choice is yours god knows i have emptied my soul but the spirit of the lord has laid on me to share today the choice is yours bow your heads with me please [Music] there's a song he says without him [Music] i do nothing sing that for me [Music] without it [Music] let those heads remain bowed as we sing without him [Music] praise god [Music] praise god [Music] you're going to do the next part of it just hold it right there let me ask this very important question is there somebody here today you have followed the discourse from the beginning through to the end and i'm hoping that you have drawn from it the spiritual value that will cause you to make [Music] a decision that will affect your life for the rest of your life and for the life to come [Music] if you are here this morning and you have never yet given your life to the lord [Music] today you want to make that decision the time is now next week sunday this time we'll be heading for bhagwalk river because we have some candidates of baptism let me tell you this i am not looking candidates for baptism i am not looking members for this church but i am looking candidates for heaven glory to god that's my drive i am on the search sister harris for persons who want to see jesus and for me to help them to see jesus as your lord and savior that's my main intention and so today i ask if there is somebody here who wants to change your status from this half dead dilapidated broke down life and you want to exchange it for a life of robustness freshness livelihood and the prostate of fruit then you can make your decision today praise god almighty thank you jesus [Music] [Applause] [Music] it right there for me [Music] i say this to you if you are here today and you want to choose life in jesus that you will be in conformity to psalm 1 1-4 and especially verse 4 which says you shall be like a tree that is planted by the rivers of water that bring forth its fruit in due season believe shall not wither and whatever you do shall prosper this lady is lining up behind this tree she believes that if she turns her life over to god she's going to be like this tree but can i tell you that even if you don't say yes and you sit there you are making a decision and that decision that you are making you are lying up with this withered half dead soon ready for fire sprout that has no life no substance ready to die by virtue of you not lining up there you are automatically lining up here i call you today to make a decision are you going to be like a tree that is planted by the river are you going to remain like a a cutoff branch that is withered and ready to die in short order that becomes your choice is there somebody else today raise your hand right where you are and indicate your willingness to receive life from jesus christ there is life oh look at the crucified one there is life this moment for you i'm closing i'm closing i'm closing but i don't want to leave you out the choice is yours is there somebody else is there somebody else is there somebody else [Music] is there somebody else there is a correspondence from from from the platform somewhere did i get this from you oh you okay one adrian james [Music] oh god says he wants to change his life someone in cyberspace wherever he is at what he has called through to say i want to change my life adrian james is lining up behind a tree that is planted by the river that is going to bring forth his fruit in his season god bless you adrian god bless you is there somebody else the closing father thank you for today thank you for your words to our lives thank you for speaking to us the way you have we have received it today lord and we are applying it to ourselves we know that without you we can do nothing oh god we are declaring today that we can produce nothing without us abiding in and so today lord here is your daughter who has walked up to this altar and lined up behind this plant representing life and a lively future and hope in god representing fruitfulness yes that is divinely connected to god today she's saying i want to be connected lord i stretch my hands in her direction now and i ask lord that you'll remove our
