Todd White - Gods Heart for Humanity

i've been asking jesus to take me deeper into the gospel just to show me his heart for humanity i don't believe i don't believe that the job for reaching the lost is just up to the evangelists i don't believe it i've never believed it i believe that it's up to us the church to reach the lost one of the hardest things for me in witnessing and sharing my heart with people is that when a person doesn't see their need for jesus i don't know if that bothers anybody else it bothers me to the point of tears i'm like lord how can i reach how can i reach them how can i reach them with the gospel how can i how can i and words of knowledge prophetic and all that is amazing and miracles i love it but there's really no way for a person to realize their need for grace if they don't realize that they've offended god we don't even talk about that a lot a lot of times altar calls and i've been in them i've been i've been there or if you if you'd like to have a relationship with jesus and you'd like to have joy love peace then i then i need you to slip up your hand i get it i've been there but what happens when you come in to the gospel and you're told that jesus is going to give you love joy peace your life is going to be filled with amazing happiness and abundance and what you get is trials tribulation persecution i am so convicted i came to tell you like i'm i'm i'm trembling inside sorry for me to be i love god with everything in me but the american church has lost the reality of what repentance looks like and i'm broken because i don't ever want to be or even think that way in any way shape or form because all of us are going to stand before the judgment seat i'm overwhelmed because i want you to stand before jesus and not be and have no condemnation that's the goal wow i almost forgot i want to welcome 277 online preview lcu students right now sorry [Applause] i'm in school again i am i've been going through the most amazing pruning and it's been really painful that's crazy because it wouldn't be painful if i was dead when i'm alive yet i'm dead it's crazy don't ever think that you're above correction from the lord please don't please don't think you got it all figured out because you don't i promise jesus the manifold wisdom of god he wants to reveal by the church to the powers and principalities that's that's the manifold wisdom of god you can never exhaust that and don't think you know that it's the beginning gosh i'm i'm i'm like i'm having trouble preaching sorry students i've just known a lot of people that have fallen away and it breaks my heart and it's not okay somehow some way we need to have a gospel that's so strong inside of us that there is no falling away when i i just read some percentage rates of fall away people backsliding people following up and i was devastated i've never looked into that stuff before but it's like an 85 percent fall away rate man that means eight to nine people that accept jesus don't stay with it something's wrong are you guys with me like my heart is broken for the lost and i really want to reach people really bad like with everything in me i hope that when one day when i pass on to be with jesus i hope it's in the middle of a witness where i'm like you got to give your life boom hey jesus i hope you have no idea i was talking to this kid i was at the beach and there's these kids that just drunk crazy partying around the 4th of july and we're out in newport beach just got to go out there and just chill but really it was like gosh it was chill but it was an intense time for me with jesus it always is it's not like you go on vacation and i need a break from you lord it's not that and you can't get rest from your vacation if you're not in rest because of what jesus did you won't find it there you won't find rest on a retreat for your congregation and your leaders i promise that doesn't give you rest jesus gives you rest so i was talking to this kid there was this this this girl that was drunk this guy that was more drunk and he was like just being drunk full of lust the whole thing and he knocked her down and she must hit her head on a rock and the lifeguard came over and then destiny got involved and went over and brought this girl over and it just it was just crazy situation that was that was me you know it took me getting shot at to realize that god loved me and i don't want people to have to get to the place where they get shot at it's it's horrible for me to know that sometimes people have to get to where jesus is all they have left to realize that's all they needed to begin with that's a hard way to go there so i'm talking to this kid and i said to him i said bro and this is one of the friends of that young man and i said hey man i said buddy and i shared my testimony with him just real quick what happened because that was me that's how i lived and he said hey man i'm glad you found your path which is a common a common phrase because there's so much stuff out there i just believe you're gonna be a good person and i asked him a question because they're partying they're sleeping with whoever they get a house they rent a house a group of guys rent a house for a week and however many girls they can be with and that's the goal and i said let me ask you a question you're a good person i said what if i said you guys are having a party like you do tonight and i said you end up sleeping with this girl and and she's pretty and she's all that you believe she is and then a month and a half later you get a phone call from her lawyer because her dad found out that you slept with his daughter and she's 15. and i said and you're like 20 right yeah i said let me ask you this i said what is that called he goes i don't know man he was that's heavy i said heavy i said well let me ask a question because you just told me how good of a person you were because that's what he said that's the hardest for me i'm just a good person because good people don't need jesus they got their goodness it's called self-righteousness it's a horrible place to be and i said to him i said bro i said i said i said you're a good person and he said yeah he goes of course i'm a good person i said all right i said well the day that you face the judge and you're in court because that 15 year old girl you slept with her there's no way out you did it now what if she's pregnant i mean there's really no way out and he's like well i don't know man that's heavy dude i don't want to think about that i said well you don't have to think about but let me just paint a scenario for you i said if you face that judge i said and you're sitting there in court when you try to explain and let's say you don't want a lawyer you want to represent yourself or you have a public defender or you pay for a lawyer let's just say that you're going to try to explain to that judge how good of a person you are are you guilty or are you innocent and he looked at me he goes well i'm guilty i said what are you going to get he said i'm going to jail i said for how long i said is it right for the judge to convict you of that or would you say he's a bad judge he looked at me and he goes well i don't know dude that's heavy i said look i said this stuff happens every day i said is the judge a good judge or a bad judge if he convicts you and he said well i guess he's a good judge but he's a bad judge too i said why i said you broke the law he looked at me and he goes dude that's heavy he kept saying that's heavy that's heavy that's heavy that's all i kept saying because he was a little drunk and i said man i said isn't that crazy i said you would say he's a good judge because he's gonna divorce now let me paint another picture let's say that that 15 year old girl is your daughter and another man slept with her now you're the dad that's sitting in the courtroom is that a good judge or a bad judge he looked at me and he goes i guess he's a good judge i said which is it good or bad see what i the crazy thing with me is that when i came in i got shot at i've shared my testimony but like for the longest time like i would say the longest time i know how bad i heard jackie i heard her i threatened to kill her god i know how bad i hurt destiny i know how bad i hurt my mom i know how bad i heard all these people but that didn't save me that didn't save me it's when i realized i offended god it's crazy like okay so we got like we got ten commandments right this isn't preaching the law i need you to see this it's so important because we've kind of walked away from it look i got i put a couple of quotes down here i was like freaked out do you ever hear a spurgeon i i was like i've been reading spurgeon oh my gosh he's rocking me have you ever read spurgeon has anybody up there oh my gosh have you ever like read whitefield like these old-time like preachers like i was like oh my gosh like but they're a grace preacher but they preach the truth you can be the best person ever but if you don't see your need for a savior you'll think that you're just good and that one day because god's good he'll just forgive you because he's good when you've neglected to say jesus is my way you've said i'm gonna be okay when i get before him because god's a good god was he a good god because he doesn't enforce or is he a good god because he enforces see somewhere along the line i think that we as a church have kind of overlooked that here's the deal everybody that you walk by everywhere you go my heart is to cause conviction that's the gospel the gospel brings conviction but righteousness is the answer because i want to be convicted of sin leave my sin leave that and enter into being convicted of righteousness that's the goal of the gospel the goal is to see my sin for what it is not excuse it not wash it away but see it for what it is horrible and detestable so much that when i give my life to jesus it's equally horrible and detestable for me what is the sign of repentance that you hate sin are you with me or not sometimes we're like well come on just get to the no no that's it like is there a part in you that loves sin still something's wrong okay oh my help me jesus i read this and i want to read this to you because this hit me did you ever hear a ray comfort amazing just amazing like i i was blown away now i don't i didn't read a whole bunch of stuff but this right here blew me it's just a scenario that that rocked me to the core i'm going to read this to you you guys ready okay i just this this right here like overtook me i was like oh my gosh because it's how you come in when you come into the gospel because you came in for a better life you've come in for the wrong gospel when you come to jesus because he's going to give you this and give you this you really didn't surrender see what you're saying is that i've come to get this what you've done is a taste test to see if it's true it's the same thing as getting a buzz well i'll try this jesus thing maybe there's a buzz in it that's not jesus it's full your goal as a christian is to be conformed to his image is to be transformed into his image into his likeness and to actually walk like christ walked jesus didn't despise sinners but he hated sin and he addressed it all the time and he said words like sinners to people that were in sin yet he loved them and everybody followed him what has flip-flopped in the church today what has flip-flopped it says there's two men that are seated on a plane oh my gosh a stewardess gives the first man a parachute and instructs him to put it on because it will improve his flight not understanding how a parachute a parachute could possibly improve his flight the first passenger is a little skeptical finally he decides to see if the claim is true after strapping on the parachute he notices his burdensome weight of the parachute he has difficulty even sitting upright consoling himself with the promise of a better flight our first passenger decides to give it a little time because he's the only one wearing a parachute some of the other passenger begins smirking at him and making fun of him which only adds to his utter humiliation unable to stand it any longer our friend slumps in his seat unstraps the parachute throws it to the floor disillusionment and bitterness fill his heart because as far as he's concerned he was told a lie another stewardess gives a second man a parachute but listen to her instructions she tells him to put it on because at any moment he's going to be jumping out of the plane at 25 000 feet our second passenger gratefully straps the parachute on he doesn't notice its weight on his shoulders nor that he can't even sit upright his mind is consumed with the thought of what will happen if he jump without it when other passengers laugh at him he's thinking it's not funny you're gonna need a passenger you're gonna need a parachute too the first man's motive for putting on that parachute was solely to improve his flight as a result he was humiliated by passengers disillusioned by an unkept promise and embittered against the stories who gave it to him as far as he's concerned he will never put that thing on again he will never have it on his back again the second man put the parachute on to escape the danger of the upcoming jump because he knew what would happen to him without it he had a deep rooted joy and peace in his heart knowing he was he'll be saved from certain death because he was given the ability to withstand the mockery and he was given the ability to withstand the mockery of the passengers because he knows the end from the beginning that's crazy his attitude towards the stewardess who gave him that parachute was one of heartfelt gratitude that's crazy the first one is a man-centered gospel and it makes sense why did i come to jesus because somebody told me i was going to have love joy peace patience i was promised a good life with no problems come to jesus hell of you that are just tired come on just give your just raise your hand slip up here i see you i see you i see you i see you i see you but they didn't do it to escape the jump here's the deal one day you and i are going to all face the lord it's the truth are you guys with me is this too much i've been going through it buddy you have no idea i've been like trembling shaking in a new place of the fear of the lord and in a new place of the inspiration of the holy spirit to bring the reality of the law into a witness to show a person their need for grace how can you want to be found if you don't know you're lost how can you how can you how can you want to see if you don't know that you're blind how can you don't how can you want to really live if you don't know that you're dead the bible says that we're dead in our sin dead the wages of sin is death it's the truth we have to somehow get to people and not just promise them a better flight help me here am i the only one that's convicted to the to the core this isn't legalism it's the truth there is there is a day of wrath coming it's no joke like sometimes we think gosh it's crazy because the enemy wants you to think god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son and whoever believes in him and there's all the time in the world to get to that place of believing in him but if we don't understand that god's god's rule or his commandments are his laws and his laws if we want to do it as a good person we have to obey him all and nobody has nobody has are you with me and so we have to know that we've sinned against god and so we we need to know that god's grace is sending jesus and putting jesus as the substitute for my sin that we actually become the righteousness of god that is in christ jesus when we see the proper reason that he died for us he didn't just die for us to give us a great life an abundant life is are the fruits of the gospel but it's not a selling point come on like walking in the miraculous and telling somebody they can go and heal the sick if you just give your life to jesus you can do this too that is a fruit and a side benefit of the gospel that's not the reason for doing it a reason for doing is because you don't want to live that life of sin and offend a holy god he's a holy god and he loves us with everything we all everything he is like he is love but because he is love doesn't mean that he's not going to enforce the reality of the truth are you with me i saw this when i got saved and for some reason it's taken me 16 years to explain it and i feel like i've just seen something completely brand new what i won't ever do is take the miraculous out of the gospel it's mirac it's a miracle that i can come to jesus through all my junk and all my sin and him say not guilty that's a miracle that's a miracle but if i come to jesus and i say yes and i come and i become a part of a church or i just become a part of something where it's just a sunday thing but i'm living in sin monday through sunday what has really changed and why would the world want the gospel from somebody that's not living it why would why would people want what you have if you're not even excited about what you say you have why would people want what you say and want to change life if your life isn't changed why would they want your jesus if your jesus looks just like their life they wouldn't are you guys with me it's the gospel i am so convicted i'll never be a legalist why because legally i could never walk out the commandments never i could never do it what i do is i cling to jesus all the more there's no way that i can do this there's no way there's no way some people i've talked to some people they're like you know well my god would never do this and my god would never create a hell for people my god is good and my god is this your god doesn't exist he's a graven image of your mind that's not god your god's not a holy god i love jesus with everything in me but my love for him wants to display him to a lost and dying world i am not perfect but i am strongly convicted and i'm going to live this thing out i want to walk it out i'm like so excited to i feel like i just met jesus again you have no idea i'm like there's there's this rekindled thing inside of me this has been the hardest season of my life i'm like lord what are you doing he said i'm pruning every branch that you have i'm like it's not okay it hurts and he said if you were dead it wouldn't hurt there are parts of you that need to die so i'm going to kill them now i can either say well i don't agree with that lord and i can preach another gospel or i can agree with it and go under it it says that if you're if you're an illegitimate son then god doesn't correct you but if you are a legitimate son if you're a legitimate child there is always correction going on and i don't run from it i run into jesus and say oh god i need you so bad right now it's been my life for the last six months oh god but the last month i went away i'm like we're going on vacation it's gonna be awesome oh god this isn't awesome it's hurting me hurting me nevertheless lord your grace is sufficient for me why i need to understand what real grace is there is a movement on the earth of twisted demonic stuff man it's not okay it's not okay we do not have a license to live however we want that's not true that's not the gospel no no we live like christ we be imitators of god dear children we walk in love even as he loved us if anybody has this hope in him he ought to purify himself just like he is pure that's a big deal if anybody say that he abide in him he ought walk just like jesus walked not different just like how can i walk just like man god how can i walk just like okay i'm going to prune you and show you i don't know if i'm ready okay well let me know when you're ready i'm ready gosh i don't know how many of you said yes to jesus in immediate face tribulation and trial how many of you said yes to jesus and everything went yay how many of you said yes to jesus and your whole life was wow no trouble walking on water can do it my own strength how many of you happened how many of you did that how many people have been told come to jesus now if you're tired of your life and you like to give jesus a chance oh my gosh we have created half-hearted christians in the gospel message god's not looking for half-heartedness you're either in it or you're out of it you're for him or you're against you gather or you scatter this isn't partial dude if you want partial don't choose jesus because he's not partial there's no partiality with him he is not a partial god it's all or none you either flee from sin or you live in it you flee from it or you live in it and if your god that you think you have condones your sin and understands you do not have the god of the bible you don't i was so excited to come and share my heart and then god's been overwhelming me and wrecking me don't you veer against god don't you veer for a second don't you veer don't you veer we want to launch a church we're going to it's going to be amazing but it won't be half-hearted and i'm not accusing others of being i'm saying as for me and my house we will serve the lord god said that holiness isn't an option now we can never be holy in our own strength we be holy as he is holy but we have to see that he is holy he's not a god of compromise he's not he's not a god of compromise he's god the eternal god the one that chose to send his son as a substitute for you because we could not walk out the law we couldn't all of us have sinned and all of us have fallen short of of the glory of god none of us have made it in our own strength we can't make it in our own strength but god is faithful and just sometimes people think well i only did a little bit you ask people like a commandment thou shalt you know not bear false witness what's that mean lying correct me if i'm wrong that's what it means am i lying so if i ask the kid hey listen have you ever lied before well i mean little lies well what lie makes you like a liar a little lie or big lies well i mean lies yeah but i only told a couple well does 10 lives make you a liar or does one lie make you a liar how does that work well i guess i'm a liar okay have you ever taken anything have you ever stolen anything before well everybody has that's right what does that make you well i don't know i'm not a bad person but what does it make you if you steal a thief that's not that's not horrible and i'm not condemning you it's the truth you don't have to condemn people because all people are condemned that don't believe in jesus do you understand that's the bible the bible says that all are under condemnation that don't believe in jesus are you with me the bible also says that everyone has the the law written in their hearts it's already there so if i ask a good person if lying is wrong they will tell me yes if i ask a bad person if lying is wrong they will tell me yes so lying thieving adultery is cheating on your wife but adultery jesus says is committing it with your eyes and your heart so like that makes the best of people lying adulterers thieves crazy and that doesn't sound like wait a minute you're condemning no i'm not you're already condemned all people are condemned that says by the law it says in in in the in the psalms in proverbs it says the law converts the soul the soul is converted from the law that doesn't mean that we preach it as legalists that just means that if people don't know that they're sinners they won't see their need for a savior this is hard for people huh it's hard for me it's hard for me because i feel like i haven't preached the whole gospel and i repent i repent you have no idea i will not be responsible i believe that when i preach that the blood of people is on my hands i believe that when i walk by a person and don't share a witness i believe that their soul is my at my in my in my power not my power i can't save them but it's my power with my words that i can say something that can i'm convicted i'm convicted it says to he who knows to do good and doesn't it is so what's your definition of doing good i'm allowing my definition of doing good to extend the fact of me reaching more people with the truth i need you and it's so important for me i hope i'm not losing you if i do i just hope you're convicted i am so convicted listen to this on the plane an unfortunate incident during some expect unexpected turbulence a brand new store this is their first day spill some hot coffee into the lap of the second passenger what's his reaction does he cry out in pain then rip off his parachute and say i am so sick of this thing no way he didn't strap it on for any other reason he didn't strap it on for the coffee he didn't strap it on not to be laughed at he strapped that on because he knows where he's going that's a big deal that hit me like a ton of bricks oh help me jesus he didn't strap it on for that he strapped it on because he knows he's going to jump in fact he doesn't even relate the incident to his parachute instead it only makes him cling more tight to the hope of salvation and it pushes him into jesus all the more so when someone comes to jesus for what they can get from him it doesn't last long but when someone comes to jesus and surrenders it all and sees that they're guilty of offending a holy god they're going to stay are you guys with me it's so good it's so good guys are you all right are my staff okay i hope so so when we come to jesus and someone says put on the lord jesus christ he will give you love joy peace fulfillment he'll improve your flight when temptation and tribulation and persecution come it's an easy out because it didn't line up with what you got saved to there's so many scriptures that line up with it it's crazy you know when the prodigal came home you know what he didn't say i can't believe i did this against my father you know what he did i sinned against heaven that's what saves us all are you with me i guess this is evangelism school i don't know right now today if i were to if i were to hold an altar call and people that have never heard the gospel before and these are the scriptures that i shared ii timothy 3 12 all who desire to live godly in christ will suffer persecution acts 14 22 we must all through many tribulations enter the kingdom of god psalm 34 19 many are the afflictions of the righteous john 16 33 in the world you'll have tribulation who wants to say yes to jesus it's not but i'm telling you that if people never heard it and that's how they're brought in they're not coming back off i got enough of that on my own i don't need more problems give me something that's better it is better it's eternity it's eternity it's eternity that's the best you guys all know the story of david and bathsheba right if you don't david could have anything he's the king of israel he could have anything that he wanted anything and he's up on his rooftop and he should have been out in battle up on his rooftop on the sidelines not on the front lines and he looked off that roof and he saw a beautiful woman getting a bath and david yearned longed for that and he could have had anything in the world but he chose another man's wife so david sent for her brought her in slept with her she went back her husband's in battle she comes back and says sends message to david and says i'm pregnant david to cover up his sin called the head of his army or no first he called and had him had the husband come back and he brought the husband back and he's thinking that he's going to get the husband to sleep with bathsheba so that his sin can be covered up so it'll look like their son their their daughter whoever their baby so this arm this head like one of the guys one of the leaders in his army he's so faithful that there's no possible way that he's going to sleep with his wife when all of his men are on the front lines like his dedication to david was above and beyond his dedication as a soldier was above and beyond there was no way he was going to do that when his men were out in the field so david tries the second thing and tries to get him to come back get him drunk if he gets him drunk he's definitely going to sleep with his wife so he has him drink with him he gets drunk and he still won't sleep with them he sleeps at the king's doorstep so he goes back so david's like how am i going to fix this i know what i'll do i will call the leader of his command i will have him sent to the front of the battle in the heat of battle i will have all the men draw back from him he'll be killed in battle and no one will ever know so that's what he does so her husband is killed in battle so david's like ah but there's a prophet a man of god named nathan who comes to david and he doesn't tell david the scenario but he gives him a parable and he starts to share about a man that had one let you ever see veggie tales one little sheep this man had one little sheep and nathan goes on to say that another man had all these different sheep but wanted that man's sheep so took his man's sheep brought him in and stole from that man so nathan says what shall be done to the man and nathan says he shall die and then nathan turns around and says you are that man and bust david dude what does david do this is crazy in psalms 51 verse 4 david says this against you god you only he didn't say against bathsheba he didn't say against her husband he didn't say against israel but all those things were factors he said against you and you alone i've sinned i have done what is evil in your sight in psalms 32 verses 1 2 and 5. it says blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven whose sin is covered blessed is the man against whom the lord counts no iniquity and whose spirit there is no deceit i acknowledge my sin to you i did not cover my iniquity i said i will confess my transgression to the lord and you forgive the iniquity of my sin david uses three different words to describe his confession acknowledged his sin he refused to cover his sin and he was determined to confess his transgressions nothing held his back here's the deal in christ there is no shortcuts to this thing you acknowledge it are you with me you have to acknowledge that it's sin you have to stop covering it you have to start j you have to stop justifying why i did this because i justify this because you can't there's no justification everything is naked and open to the lord he sees it all regardless of what you think we sinned against god he sees it all and he wants you to be free from that he so wants you to be free that he sent jesus as the substitute so that you could see that jesus died paid the price for you to be free from sin but to be free from a life of continuing sin he did it all all to him i owe sin had left a crimson stain he washed it white as snow it's the gospel and what happened horrible stuff happened but david admitted that he sinned against god if we don't see that we've sinned against a holy god there really can't be repentance and that's it that's it here watch this one more and then we're going to pray you guys okay this is heavy right totally different who is this todd guy this todd guy got like hammered by the lord like he did like a he's still doing it it's a hammering and a pruning and it's a good thing he loves me he loves me he loves me he loves me he loves me we're about to step into something beautiful and wonderful the miraculous the things that are about to break out we have to be thus prepared for it all i'm not kidding it is going to break out so intensely here you will read about it on the news i'm serious i'm not kidding but we have to get we have to get it right and our foundation has to be completely solid there can't be any holes are you with me there can't be any holes this is the gospel jesus hates sin but he loves the sinner he hates it suppose you were suppose i came up to you and i told you that that i was gonna that yeah suppose someone else came up to you and told you that they were gonna pay your twenty five thousand twenty five thousand dollar fine they were gonna pay it you're like i don't have no fine like if you don't have a fine there's no reason for anybody to pay it but what if they said that today when you were driving you went through a children's blind convention and you passed a bunch of different signs and there's a bunch of different places where you were flagged going 55 and a 15. and you saw the reality of the conviction of all the stuff and all the tickets that you've merited now suppose the same person came up and said they're going to pay that 25 000 fine for you then it makes sense i need help thank you so much for paying that sign paying that fine that's what jesus did for all of us but if we don't see our need for him paying the fine we're in such big trouble i love you guys with all my heart i'm not ever going to just preach something that i'm just learning god's been like cutting me and sifting me and shifting and changing things in my heart but i don't wanna i don't wanna have people not celebrate in heaven i want us to have massive conviction inside of our hearts i want us to how many people would love to be able to share the truth with somebody around you but just haven't gotten up the strength to do it many people why because we don't know how that's okay god wants to teach us he wants to teach us guys we've all missed it but jesus did it jesus did it i'm just gonna ask this and i don't want every head bowed every eye closed if you realize that you've missed it if you realize that you've missed it and you don't want to miss it anymore if you're here and you don't know jesus like i just described him today and you don't know and didn't know sin for what it just just easy the commandments easy there's much more law but that's just the beginning and we've flopped on all of them but if you've never said yes and want to be completely free and you want to be completely free from this thing and you actually want to pledge your whole everything to you that you are to jesus all of you i'm talking not a little i'm talking all in if that's you and you've never heard it like this i'm gonna ask you to come up here right now if that's you and you're here i know this is an intent message intense if you're up there and this is something that you want to give your whole self to please come right now have the worship team this is so important guys god's not looking for people that just get their feet wet christianity's not been there done that got the t-shirt please don't get that in your head we're talking fully surrender fully in fully god if that's you and you're here i want you up here please don't wait please don't wait don't be afraid i feel like there's a bunch more people that need to be up here and i'm not pulling teeth i'm telling you that this thing is real and we can't afford to disobey conviction in order to receive grace you have to know your need for it in order to receive the grace of the lord jesus christ you have to see your need for it there's a bunch of people in the world that are accusing me of so many different things but the one thing that i that i hit the most is identity and how your soul sees jesus because how we see him is how we are because as he is so are you in this world god i ask you in the name of jesus help help us god help me please help me preach the gospel your goodness your mercy there is room at the cross it's all about the blood of jesus and cross of jesus and what he did for us he nailed our sin to that tree he bore in his body our junk our sickness he did it jesus did it all and all god's asking us to do is to surrender to what he did we haven't just sinned against people that's part of it but we sinned against heaven that's what david said to you and you alone have a sin you're watching online there's room for you too there's room for you jesus will never turn somebody away sometimes people like i did this before i already did so i don't want to i don't want to do this again you don't want to live in sin i promise you you don't want to sin will cost you more than you ever wanted to pay and take you further than you ever wanted to go and not just that it twists and hurts everybody around you that wants to see the real authentic jesus for the sake of the gospel give it all to the king for the sake of the gospel give it all to the king

It made me search my own heart. Did I come to Jesus for just a better life? Its interesting because in the beginning, I did. I was making bad decisions, failing school. I just wanted to know God and have him help me. Didnt know what to do, but in time someone gave me a gospel tract. It told me that the reason why I didnt know God or have a relationship with him, was because I was a sinner. But the reason Jesus Christ came was to die for my sins, so that I could be restored to a right relationship with God.

I believed that in my heart, and I knew I was saved, because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross and that God did it for me. Since then, I stopped fornicating and doing drugs, and other sins, but I am far from perfect. But Todd is right, we need to examine why we come to Jesus Christ. its not for a better life here on earth. Jesus Christ said if anyone tries to save his life he will lose it. He framed it well, I need to see sin for what it is, and recognize it in my heart, and realize that this is the main issue. I've offended God and offend him when I sin, so I shouldnt sin, as it says in 1 John, "sin not"

Bottom line is I was justifying my sin(porn/lust), but I need to repent and forsake it.
