The True Fast- Isaiah 58

if you can if you could turn in your Bibles to the Book of Isaiah the 58th chapter Isaiah 58 I also read an article the other day and the article stated that people are using payday loans if you are familiar with those maybe not through personal use of it but you might be able to drive through various communities and you see this checking goal payday loans and title pawns and all these different things to get advanced cash for your for whatever you may need it for at a very excuse met a very high interest and they're showing that more and more people are using these payday loans just to purchase food and to pay their there to fund their basic necessities of life food grocery shopping paying bills paying car notes and so forth and so on and they are having to borrow constantly from these payday lenders to get advance cash just to meet their daily needs and what that says brothers and sisters if it was not for the credit card if it was not for this in an inflated idea that we really have money to sustain the burdens of society if it was not for this credit that is being lent out then brothers sisters we would be experiencing in recognizing greater and more drastic poverty than we're seeing now people are living on borrowed time people are simply borrowing and borrowing more money just to stay afloat to pay back what they have already borrowed only to realize that at the end is going to be a downturn it is going to be a headlong fall but we have been given by the inspiration of God we have been shown how to meet and deal with the crisis at hand if you ever read in volume 9 of the testimonies under the chapter the coming crisis and it mentions how that government cannot solve the problems of poverty they cannot sickness operations on a more secure basis well if you take that same quotation and you take that same thought and idea and you go to the book ministry of healing and you see the work for the intemperate you see the the the work and the helping of the poor and she deals with the same quotation and she begins to show every step to be taken to place business on a more secure basis and to deal with life's poverty so it is not just a statement that that that leaves us to think that businesses and that governments are failing us but God turns around and shows us the solution because God would have you and I in this day to be what Daniel was in Babylon whereas his astrologers and soothsayers and brothers and sisters you must understand that many today in politics are turning towards psychics we know and understand that many presidents before relied heavily upon spiritualistic powers to govern their administration we know that Nancy Reagan was one that leaned heavily upon a psychic to to organize enter arranged when her husband should fly when his meeting should be organized when he should have him and what he should do and she relied heavily upon this psychic upon this as it were which of endor and as we have told in Revelation that these frogs that come out of the mouth of the Dragon and the beast and the false prophet will go unto the kings of the earth spiritualism these spiritualistic powers we recognize that the United Nations has as its basis Alice Alice Bailey which is Lucius trust which is a spiritualist which relies and worship Satan and so all of these things are controlled by the dragon this spiritualistic powers and while they're relying heavily upon these things there sue sayers and psychics cannot answer the problems cannot deal with these issues that are arising but God will allow Daniels as it were and God will allow Joseph's as it were to be able to deal with life's problems not through miracles alone not through just open revelations praise God they will come God has given to us things in his word to be able to deal with these crises to it to be able to deal with our own personal issues and financial issues that we have to deal with and so as we learned to balance our own books and we will be in a position to help someone else balance theirs amen but it starts with us if there's going to be a revival in the church there must first be a revival in the individuals heart if there would be a revival in the nation there must be a revival in the home so the revival does not begin with the church it does not begin with the preacher in the sense of reforming the the corporate structure it will begin when we first accept the reforms in our own life but we will not be reformed until we're first revived and you will not be revived until you're recognized that you are dead you recognize that because of Siena I am in the condition that I'm in I recognize that I do not have the zeal and the power to affect change around me because I do not have the power of God as I ought to I do not have that spirit without measure as I should Isaiah 58 presents to us two classes of people but even though their two classes God styles them as his people because it begins Isaiah 58 was saying cry aloud spare not and then he says lift up thy voice like a trumpet cry aloud spare not lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show my I want my people their transgressions and their sins now their sins is not just the Sabbath although that is their sin their violation of the commandment of God that has been given as a sign of sanctification they are opened violation not just violating it by the sense of rejecting it as many or practically as all of Protestantism does to a great degree but they're rejecting the Sabbath also by their by their unwillingness to recognize the sanctity and the the the reverence that should be exercised with the Sabbath because when you look at the the when you look at the Jewish nation it was not acknowledgement of the Sabbath that they had an issue with it was how they were keeping the Sabbath and so even the Jews who held the Sabbath did not understand the power in the Sabbath and for that reason Jesus was doing mighty miracles on the Sabbath to bring attention to the way the Pharisees kept it versus the way that God designed that the Sabbath should be kept not in closed doors not confined to ceremonial rituals but the Sabbath was to be made a blessing not just for us but for all mankind and this is why Jesus constantly tried to relieve oppression on the Sabbath we find a man at the Pool of Bethesda Jesus meeting him on the Sabbath and while that man at the pool was waiting for an angel to stir the waters up to bring about some superficial healing Jesus came in behind and said wilt thou be made whole just the same way if we looked at that in a very spiritual connotation there are many waiting by the Pool of Bethesda waiting for something to take place by a minister waiting for a superficial healing to come or a minister an angel to come and rouse the people of so that they can do what God asks them and rekt not recognising that Jesus is near and that he is the one by his word that can bring power brothers sisters many people are waiting for a revival to take place and they're going to miss it they're waiting for John the Baptist's as it was in Matthew 17 they said that Jesus says tell no one the vision until I am resurrected and they said well wait a minute doesn't the Pharisees say that Elijah must first come and what did Jesus say Elijah has come already and they did not know it in the same way that many people are waiting for some manifestation to take place or some grand event and they're going to miss it not realizing that we are in the days where God is about or through his message is seeking to bring a revival and Reformation among his people notice what it says in Isaiah 58 Isaiah 58 last week we dealt with verses one down to verse six but the point was that I was making is that their sin is not just the Sabbath their sin is a neglect of mankind not just the sin of breaking of God's law openly but a sin of ignoring the claims of their brothers and sisters that is right around them what does God say in Matthew 25 when the windows on the Left you don't have to turn there but in Matthew 25 those on the left they said Lord when saw we thee a hunger we did not feed thee or when was you thirsty and we didn't give you drink or when were you naked and we did not clothe thee or when were you sick and we didn't visit you and Jesus says as you have not done it unto the least of these my brethren you have not done it unto me so the neglect or their sin is twofold it is a sin towards God like the rich young ruler and it is also a sin towards their brethren desiring to know how do I keep the commandments Jesus says go sell what you have give to the poor and follow me he went away sorrowful Lord which how shall I inherit eternal life he says well what does the law say and he quoted it he says what this doing you'll have eternal life well wait a minute who was my neighbor and then he showed who his neighbor was and so God says that our true expression of commandment-keeping is our diligent desire to save those who are around us this is how they will see that we are God's people not just by our recognition of a particular day which is the day of worship which is the sign of sanctification but the Bible says here are they that keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus how was Jesus faith exercised it was demonstrated in his love for us it was demonstrated in his desire to see us where he was and our faith for and love for God will be seen by our desire to see others where we now are do we have the religion that can save someone else could we say to someone else do as I do and you shall be saved notice Isaiah 58 Isaiah 58 look at verse 6 Isaiah 58 looking in with me and verse 6 Isaiah 58 looking at verse 6 when you have at Amen notice the Bible says is not this in other words he's using a contrast between the fast of those who are his people but they are in transgression and they are fasting not to come in harmony with God they are fasting to smite with the fist of wickedness they're fasting as it were because they want the country back isn't that what the Jews wanted they wanted the hated Romans to be cast out of power so that they can assume power now isn't that what we hear from the religious right fasting praying praying that God will give us back the country praying that they would be in control but their control is by casting down others their control is by putting others down and putting themselves in position and so God their fasting is their fasting to smite with the fist of wickedness and so though it may be under the guise of Christianity and though it may be under the guise of God we must recognize that the spirit that is working to Protestantism today is not the spirit of Jesus it is the spirit of the Dragon remember the lamb will speak as a dragon and so though we do see the country going awry you and I must not be sucked in by this desire to get God back on the throne of the white house because Christ has said or surely that my kingdom is what not of this world my kingdom is not of this world less his soldiers would fight so we cannot be drawn into this battle between the left or the right or those in the middle God is calling us to a higher sphere and austere is I saw three angels flying in the midst of heaven having the everlasting gospel to preach that's what God called us to do in these last days not to vote not to push political parties but God has called us to preach the everlasting gospel amen now I know for some and again maybe not in this room but I know for some it is a it is a it is a hard thing now to recognize what God has called us to do insidiously we're being pulled into these various parties we're being drawn upon sides because of our opposition towards one party or the other but brothers sisters you must recognize that end then he in it will all be the same thing oh yes today is right in this left but sooner or later the Bible says in Revelation 17 these have one mind and will give their power and strength to the Beast and so those on the right who profess to be students and servants of God are going to give their power to the Beast those on the Left who profess to not know God and want nothing to do with him will also give their power and strength to the Beast and what would they do together they will war against God's people they will war against the principles of God so we have to make sure that we're drawing close to Christ that were not pulled on either side but that we stand for principle notice what it says Isaiah 58 it says is not this the fast that I have chosen to do what to lose the bands of wickedness to do what to undo the heavy burdens and to do what let the oppressed go free and that now break every yoke we find this in the Ministry of Christ only and this ministry again that Jesus did was not just a spiritual work because the burdens that people bore was not just burdens of sin alone Jesus told the man by the pool to the Bethesda take up thy bed and walk Jesus talked about the woman who had been oppressed by the devil and he says this woman ought to be free woman Thou Art Loosed of this thine infirmity this is the daughter of Israel so loosing Beyond loosing the burdens and the bands of wickedness and letting the oppressed go free is not just a spiritual work but it is a practical work of healing the oppressed physically as well as spiritually we are told that every gospel worker should understand how to instruct in healthful living because many are oppressed physically as I mentioned to you some months ago that there's this doctor who generally goes out to third world countries and in these third-world countries he goes and he gives free dental and free health care and he says but 2/3 of his work is now being done in America he used to go to third world countries but now he's having to work here we boast about being the greatest nation but yet when it comes to child poverty where's number two on the list so there are issues and there are problems right here in our very own country that man cannot fix there's no legislation that will fix the problem it is the gospel that is going to fix it notice what it says going on verse 7 is it not verse 7 is it not to deal though I want bread to the hungry that thou bring the poor that are cast out to wear thy house and when thou seest the naked that thou and that thou hide not thyself from the I want own flesh go to James 2 we'll come back to verse 8 go to James chapter 2 very familiar passage but notice what it says in James chapter 2 I want us to begin in verse 8 but we're gonna emphasize verse 14 notice what the Bible says in James chapter 2 God connects law-keeping with our service for man law-keeping is connected with our service for mankind notice what the Bible says the book of James chapter 2 beginning at verse 8 James chapter 2 beginning in verse 8 when you have an amen amen God says remember in Isaiah 58 he says show my people they want transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins and God does not deal with the Sabbath which is a part of their transgression but he deals with the practical work the work of tending for those around them that is the sin that God's people are guilty of that is the sin that God wants remedied and rectified before he comes back again because when he comes his the Bible says his reward is with him and that reward he says Matthew 25 those on my right you get to come in not because they ignored the law of God but because the law of God was practically being carried out in their individual lives as they is she okay you're right you need to go to restaurant okay all right they in Matthew 25 will be allowed to come in not because of their ignoring of God's commandments but because practically as they carried out God's love for mankind the law of God was demonstrated in their lives whereas in Matthew 7 verse 21 you're not going there where it says many shall say to me in that day Lord Lord have we not what have we not want prophesied in thy name have we not done many wonderful words but Jesus confesses I never knew you so while they attended to the spiritual work they neglected the practical work they neglected the work that should been done for mankind because God says as you have done these things you have not left the others undone notice what he says James - James 2 verse 8 James chapter 2 and I want us to look in verse 8 the Bible says this if you fulfill the Royal law according to the scriptures thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself you do well but if thou have one if you have respect a person's you commit one you commit sin so if you're a part of political parties Republicans Democrats tea parties you have respect a person's amen you have respect a person's the Bible says you commit what you commit sin by having respect of person what party was Jesus a part of when he was here upon the earth was Jesus a Democrat but you don't find Jesus putting any emphasis on governments while he was here now he talked about the prophetic implications that would come against the church through the government's but Jesus did not endorse political parties because he under he understood the underlying current of the party and because Jesus did not allow personal preferences to get in the way this is how he was able to appeal to the heart of Pilate he did not allow all the hatred of the Jews to rub off on him so that when he stood before Pilate he saw a soul that was in need of salvation and he appealed so that he could be won to the gospel you know it says in the book acts to the Apostles that when Paul stood before Nero it says that heaven shined upon the heart of Nero and as Paul stood that last time before Nero that was his opportunity received the gospel and to be saved but if these apostles had any preference if they had allowed the prejudices of society to rub off on them then they would not have longed and reached out to save these souls they would have left them in their political parties so the reality of it is the world is being marshaled as it were into two camps but understanding that both camps are in the one camp and both camps are going to give their power and strength to the Beast you find right and left and middle acknowledging the beasts power we see issues being done on both sides that is leaving the people astray and yet we are still being ushered into these parties we have to ask God to help us rise above these instances above these prejudices and give the gospel you know what I was reading last night in the book ministry of healing and she shows how that many people are waiting for a nun paraphrasing because I can't do the exact quotation but she says that we're waiting for resources in the sense to give us what we need to do the work we do the work that we think we need to do whereas if we would just simply go to work what we do have would be increased a thousandfold because it is not by silver or gold that this month that this work will be finished we don't need big grants and as I heard one say we don't need mega churches because we have a mega message we don't have to create mega ministries because God has given us a mission to do if it be just one at a time and do you know that there are talents that all of God's people have if we were not looking for a reward we could literally go around this town and start and set up little mobile clinics and and and minister to those who are in need and put the gospel in their hands and allow the Holy Spirit to work through the literature and bring them not to the church in a sense but bring them to Jesus and coming to Jesus they will come to the church but we're waiting for other people to do what God has given us the power to do praise God for the work that a dress doing but why wait for a Jew to do the work that God has given you an either power to do why wait for someone to come and teach my neighbor or someone people at my community bapak true when all I have to do is pray on a piece of paper hand it out and invite people who want to hear the truth to come and hear it angel zwi are totin angels are there to impress those who are open for truth and longing for guidance those are the ones that the Holy Spirit is impressing so as you hand out those who come are the ones that angels have brought and you are able to instruct them and what you do know and God will bless your efforts but we're waiting for a grand work we're waiting for this this this proclamation to go forth that says now it's time to work and brothers sisters at that time the work will be finished you and James - James - let's not believe with this James - beginning in verse 10 for whosoever verse 10 for whosoever shall do one and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all he that said do not commit one adultery said also do not kill now if thou commit no adultery yet if thou kill thou art become a one transgressor of the law for it says so speak ii and so do as they that shall be judged by the law of Liberty for he shall have judgment without mercy that have done one showed no mercy and mercy rejoices against what now I want you to hold your finger we're coming back but go on your Bibles to the book of Luke I believe its Luke 10 Luke chapter 10 look the temp chapter now we know the story the Good Samaritan but notice when in verse 25 of Luke team we're coming back to James now and the Bible says he for he shall have judgment without mercy that have done what showed no mercy notice what it says Luke chapter 10 look at verse 25 we're not reading all of it just highlighting an appointed says behold a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him saying master what shall I do to do what he said unto him what is written in the law how he does that he answering said thou shalt love thy shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart with all I sold with all I strengthened with all thy mind and now and thy neighbor as thyself and he said thou has answered write this do and thou shalt have eternal life but he willing to justify himself said unto Jesus who is my neighbor and Jesus gives them the parable and the parable is of the man who was stripped of his raiment and was left half-dead and all of a sudden the priest and the Levite passed by the church ignored their duty but here comes this Good Samaritan who by the Jews account had no right to salvation they had a false religion remember the woman of Samaria whom Jesus met at the whale she said Jesus Lord wait a minute people say that I should worship in Jerusalem but I'm worshiping in this mountain and then Jesus and then she says where shall we worship Jesus says the day is coming you will not be able to go to Jerusalem where the truth is and the day is coming where you will not be able to even stay in this mountain but God is looking for those who worship Him and spirit and in truth then she says well Lord wait a minute we know that Messiah coming so in other words she she she understands the Bible she understands prophecy the Samaritans although they have a false religion they understand certain things and she says we understand that Messiah cometh and when he comes he's going to tell us all things Jesus says I that talk to you and he and immediately she dropped her water pot took off running came back with the whole city desire of Ages says that she was more of an effective evangelist than the disciples worth because what she learned she immediately put it into practice no sooner is one converted then there's born in him a desire to make known unto others the friend that they have found in Jesus so now these Samaritans although they have a false religion they're doing the works of God and Jesus draws upon the lesson of a false religion to show his people what they should be doing in the days of Jesus notice what it says going on so we know the sword the Good Samaritan but I want you to come to the end of the story notice what it says beginning in verse 36 this is what Jesus says verse 36 37 we're going back to James 2 it says which now Jesus says of these three thinkest now was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves verse 37 before every 37 keep in mind the question is about what how to receive one eternal life so what Jesus explaining to him is a practical illustration of how one can be saved this is a Salvation issue 37 and he said he that showed what mercy on him then said Jesus unto him go and wad so James chapter 2 says he that showed mercy shall receive no mercy is he talking about mercy in the sense of just forgiving no mercy in the sense of seeing someone destitute without the knowledge of God and you're bringing them to the truth that's what God says is mercy we show mercy by seeing those who do not know God and introducing them to Christ there are people today who are vows citizens of the country but if they had the gospel or what a change will be made in their lives if they understood that Jesus is a friend of sinners Ministry of healing she says there are many ladies who will not come to church because of the way that they dress in other words they won't come because their dress does not measure up to the dress of those in the church and she says many of them stay away from the church because they look upon their clothes and they say I'm not fit to go to church and they notice that the contrast and she says and because of this stark contrast many of them look down upon religion and the example is when you look at Timothy God says do not concern yourself with the outward adorning but with the adorning of the heart why so those who look on the outside can see how rich you are in faith and look how clean you are interests are we together because you recognize that this is not this is not as important as God is what God is trying to do in the heart and that is what we are to show the world therefore God calls for a reform and dress so that our example till the world would be one that would point them and recommend them to cries and not to our outward adornment I'll be together so the reforms have a purpose they a purpose it is a means to an inn it is a sign that points that is to point in the right direction we are not to take the reform and make it religion it is an instrument to lead others to Jesus but unfortunately many have stood behind the reforms and have made the reforms their religion and crisis and in it they have reforms but they're still dead in trespasses and incense the Pharisees had the reforms but Jesus says that they were possessed with more demons than the Demoniacs and the demons they had were the demons that was full of Coyote you know demons are religious demons know how to pray out loud these are the ones that possessed the Pharisees go back to James to go back to James - we're closing now notice what it says in James - James chapter 2 brothers and sisters we are told that we have the truth as God lives when it comes to - dialoguing about the truth and what God has given to us we are unrivaled when it comes to the truth because it just makes too much sense the truth just makes too much sense but we are wanting and practical godliness this is where we are wanting act you have people that will debate over doctrines debating over doctrines and understand and going back and forth but they are wanting and practical godliness and there are doctrines and they are prophecies and they're things we can go over right now and guess what I'll get on the radio tomorrow and it will not make any sense anybody I talked to it won't do them any saving good not to say that it is not essential but we're fussing and people are arguing and debating about things as not saving their souls know anyone else they're trying to reach because the spirit that they're discussing doctrines arguing about doctrines who's right and who's wrong she says that the white fields and the Wesley's during the time of the Reformation had come to this same problem it was a discussion over doctrines and she says that the disagreements was so strong that it almost alienated the two from each other but she says they learn meekness and the school of Christ and rather then arguing and fussing while Satan was at work they put aside their differences and they went to work for Jesus to bring others into the truth God will clear up the doctrines if we could just simply fall on the rock and be broken you ever discuss I won't use the word argue but if you ever discuss something you've been so heated about it and all of a sudden you had that cooling-off period where you were able to God was able to get back in and talk to you once again and all of a sudden you go back and start talking about it and you realize that the person was not saying what you thought they were saying and here you are just saying no but and and y'all going back and forth and none of y'all saying what y'all think each other is saying the enemy is bringing an alienation so if we was to fall upon the rock Christ Jesus and realize you know what it doesn't matter if I'm wrong because if I'm wrong I can be corrected and become right and we both could get into the heaven so he that soils and he that waters the Bible says is nothing God gives the increase so at the end of the day it's not that I showed you at the end of the day praise God the Spirit of God has showed us that's what God's people need not trying to fuss and argue over doctrines they're 1888 committee not committee pardon me the 1888 when righteous my faith came to the church sister white says your dries the hills of Gomorrah you've been talking about the law yes we know the laws there and they began to bring up all these standing of the old landmark she says this is all exaggerated it is all the work of the enemy Jesus is trying to come into our hearts and we lose the door because we were so sticklers for the truth and here we are today at the finishing word being drawn into these debates about nothing that's not edifying and it's not strengthening anyone you got some over here let's say listen I believe in the twenty five twenty and if you don't believe in it you're going to hell you got some over here that say I don't believe in the twenty five twenty and those who believe in it they're going to hell and looking at the spirit of both of them you're saying wow it looks like everybody's going to hell because they don't have the Spirit of Christ what does it matter is it truth well let's talk about it but guess what if I don't agree with it just pray that God will give me light and let's go forward doing what God has called us in on the earth to do William Miller did not start preaching because he was trying to convince people of the 2300 day prophecy he was preaching to warn people about Jesus he wanted them to be ready for Christ but we are preaching on doctrines and we're not trying to prepare anybody to be saved I won't belabor notice James - James - verse 14 one tough it profit my brethren though a man say he have faith and have not what works can faith save him if a brother or a sister be naked and destitute of daily food brother sisters are people naked today are people physically literally not having clothes are people physically and literally running out of food have you ever heard about tent city does anyone know what tent city is in Sacramento people are literally living in tents who at one time lived in three four thousand square foot homes but now they're living in tents you have people who just who don't have anything anymore they naked and they're destitute it says if a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food and one of you say to them depart in peace be warmed and filled notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body what does it profit even so faith if it not have if it have not works is dead being a Isaiah 58 mother's assistant if we do not do what is needful for the body physical body then our faith by itself our gospel by itself is nothing it does not save I can go and preach at a prison I can go and preach at a boys home at a girl's home but what happens when those boys and girls those men get out what's what is there for them but my gospel but industries and institutions can and should be created so that these can be employed to work and live the gospel that we have given to them and all of us have various talents but you know what we're waiting for we're waiting for a mandate to come down and say that we don't have any money left we're waiting for a mandate to come down and say listen because of hard economic times and because of the drought and as a result of the drought they're saying that food is going to go on a spike and as a result of the drought they say gas is going to go on a spike and as a result of this we're going to start having to ration out things and once they begin to do that then what are we going to do then we're going to try to get serious about God as a result of cutting down on the budget we're going to have to give everyone a furlough and we're gonna you're gonna have saw taking extra days off do you know that in Sacramento and California that a city just went bankrupt so understand this what that means the city's has gone bankrupt that means all those government workers who were getting paid all of their checks got cut down to minimum wage so that bill that you are going to buy that that bill that you had to pay that finances or whatever you were going to do that following day brother scissors is cut short and so what happens now it's bankrupt so now everyone people have to start getting laid off new jersey they are laying people off and they're saying wow we have we're having to cut down the police force and guess what all the criminals are recognized there are less police on the street so it's having an effect all around the world but you know why no one cares because another NBA player does got a big contract another football player just got a big contract guess what Nissan is about to release five new cars over the next 15 months and all these new cars are coming out so it doesn't really appear as though we don't have anything but reality shows all around us that trouble sometimes are here they're right around us but what do we do with the neighbor when they lose everything what do we do with the people when they lose everything I'm praying for you brother I'm praying for you praying that God will bless you and that God will give you what you need I got six empty bedrooms in here but I'm praying for you that God will give you what you need I'm praying for you that's not going to help people we must practically the Bible says in Isaiah 58 not spiritually bring the poor that are cast out to where bring the poor that are cast out to thy to thy house not to the church pastor we found some homeless people we want to know if you could help them bring the poor that are cast out to your 401k have mercy bring the poor that are cast out to your savings and once you have emptied your resources now you can turn and look for others Luke chapter 11 friend came to him at midnight he said I don't have anything to give him I'm tapped out of my resources now I can go and start looking in other places to fulfill the need that this person has Paul says we're poor but making many people rich those who are going to finish this work are going to be sustained by God we're preaching prophecy we're talking about prophecy the brothers/sisters prophecy is here we are living right on under prophecy the filthy-rich are in trouble and they're scared for tomorrow why do you think billionaires commit suicide people are scared for tomorrow the poor are scared and worried for tomorrow pick up the book ministry of healing there's a chapter in their ministry to the rich ministry to the poor to the age that we have it all we have to put it in practice I close with this passage verse 8 of Isaiah 58 once we do this once you and I do this then shall thy light do one then shall thy light watt break forth as the morning and they'll physically and spiritually shall do one and I what righteousness what is righteousness your works righteousness not you you get the point righteousness is what you do it's not just an ideology in your mind righteousness is what you do your righteousness shall do one shall go before thee in other words people will begin to know that these people can help us and the glory of the Lord it says will be your one glory of the Lord will follow behind but your righteousness has to go forth your works have to be demonstrated not in your theology in your practicality your practical living everyday living people must see your righteousness not just hear it they have to see it Amen that's what the world is longing for God says when we do this this will be the result verse nine then shalt thou call and the Lord shall now shall cry and he shall say one if thou take away from the midst of thee thou they want putting forth of the
