changed clicking bondage [Applause] bondage bundage dot freakin bundage each each a muscle here come the Luciana day [Applause] you free the Holy Ghost set up set you free two days ago the nation celebrated the declaration of independence but Jesus two thousand years ago I set you free you free from chemicals you free from homosexuality you free from sickness illness disease of infirmity the Holy Ghost has conquer [Applause] can you tell three people I'm free I'm free I'm free thank you thank you I've had the work on pita told them that three men the come in the sea and I want you to go with them on any other circumstances when they found out that a Roman centurion had sent for him Peter would have never gone but God got him ready so when the Lord got through getting him ready and he went took Anita's house and when he walked in the door the camellias being a Centurion he evidently had a big mansion a place big enough for him to call together his hundred soldiers call together his family and friends and as soon as Peter walked in he said we have all gathered to hear what the Lord has commanded us ugly and Peter goes into the message how they informed that the word I say you know which began back then in Judea and how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil and he just began to relate some stories about Jesus they are not recorded we don't have the entire sermon but while he was talking about Jesus and I want you to know that the Holy Ghost does not honor all of this other stuff I know God wants us to prosper and be in health but you don't get a hold it goes out Paul when you're talking about money coming to me you don't get a Holy Ghost outboard when you are into the realm of positive thinking but if you want the Holy Ghost to come in you got the silly young man on Jesus when you stop talking about Jesus that was born of the Virgin Mary when it talked about Jesus the man that God had put so much power in his hand that anybody he touch would be healed that he could spit in a blind eye and they come open then he could whisper in a deaf ear and simply say a foul and the deaf ear would pop open walk into the fifth bedroom of a sick and dying girl and that she had already died and caught up a hand and said tell us a clue my damsel myself and the spirit hidden back into that girl talked about of Jesus that metal woman all the way to the cemetery to bury her son and he just hit the caution and the boy jumped up talked about of Jesus in place of Lazarus he's been dead full day his body had begun to decay and all he did was called him by his name and when he said Lazarus the spirit of life was came from beyond the Sun back into his body and Lazarus walked out he talked about of Jesus cross until even the Sun blacked out Dehradun Joseph's new tomb three days later walked out of the grave laughs oh boy and got the key of yep inhale and while he spoke he's wired [Applause] whoa whoa stop the Holy Ghost sat in the room all over the place men and women began to speak with other tongues Wow he spoke the word they will seal with the Holy Ghost [Applause] for the week my shot to the sorrowful Oh sick God has said so many things and his word concerning those that would walk before him and walk by faith and one thing that I can praise God far as I read even in the twelfth chapter of Genesis the promise that he made to Abraham one of those things that he said to Abraham not only will I bless you and thou shalt be a blessing bless him that bless you curse them that curse you but he also said to him that I will even make your name great it is it is God alone that whomsoever he chooses that he does some things that no one understand and it is certainly of humbling experience to know that even when the Lord says my work here is done and was it not Solomon that said in the first chapter of Ecclesiastes he thought about all of the work he had done and he said when I thought about it I hated it because I knew not who would come after whether he would be a wise man food pastors are dying every day since our convocation three weeks ago we've already lost three bishops and they tell me we have another one that's kind of hanging and I've seen men work and their work quickly destroyed by a successor who was so willing to build his own image that he trampled on everything that had gone before him and even attempted to compete with a dead man I've seen it happen but God in his move this evening said that if and god forbid that it happened but if that were to happen that sample of deliverance at least when the people come in this direction they would be compelled to remember the work that cost the street itself you [Music] the right reverend charles edward blake the first the right reverend charles everglades the first bishop of southern california's first jurisdiction [Music] I don't know but for some reason I take more pride in the explanation of this symbol you know when we drink the fruit of the vine we don't hold that we are actually drinking the blood of Jesus as some do and that we're actually eating the body of Jesus as some do but we hold that it is symbolic and this cross made of that which is least tarnish.gold suspended from a chain three feet long the three feet symbolizes the triune God the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost the goal symbolizes that which is least tarnished purity the bishop wears this not as on imitation his clergy shirt is provided with a pocket on the left side over his heart and he is to wear it on the streets concealed in that pocket but the change symbolizes that he is bound to not a position not bound to fame in popularity but bound to the cross and it was so important to Apostle Paul until with all he had going for him he declared that God forbid that I glory in anything saving the cross and in the name of the Lord Jesus [Music] Charles II Blake Southern California on the inside cover of your program for today the members of the general board are listed please add to that list the name of Bishop Charles E bleep that name was omitted cause some income burning of the sons of Jesse one was omitted but the sons of Jacob one was despised and there was a stone that the builders rejected so would you please just write in the name Charles Blake all your bulletin I am a member of the general board and would like to continue in that state [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
