Victory During Troubled Times Part 2| Bishop Keith Butler | August 29, 2021

lift up your bibles in the air please and amen say this along with me this is my bible the bible is god speaking to me the bible is the truth and in its word it tells me what to believe tells me how to think tells me how to walk tells me how to live and also in it is the path to eternal life father we thank you for the word of god we're so grateful that you've honored us with the word given us an opportunity to see it every day as we choose we look to the great teacher the holy spirit within us once again holy spirit thank you for the anointing of the office of pastor and teacher we look forward and ask once again for its manifestation to come forth strongly today we look forward again as we have prayed earlier that the eyes of our understanding may be brightened we may come and understand more of the hope of your calling and the riches of the glory given to us the saints of god we're open dear father to whatever gifts graces anointings manifestations or demonstrations you see fit to grant us further today and we ask you and we thank you for it in that holy mighty matchless and highest authority of all jesus of nazareth by his precious blood everyone in agreement with this prayer said amen you may be seated in the name of jesus praise god just before i get into the word today you know we have youth church here praise god on sunday morning so the youth have their own church except certain sundays and this sunday we got the youth in here with us today praise god hallelujah amen and i just wanted to say certain things to him if i got into the word before before i get into the message for those who are here i want to caution them about swallowing the propaganda that's being promoted to them nowadays particularly in these public schools first of all i want to once again let you know the bible is god's word and the bible is god's way in god's will i know they're promoting all this uh woke stuff about you know you can uh they want to say now that men can have babies and you can't call fathers fathers and mothers mothers and men men and women and women and the bible was very clear it said that he made them male and female when he had noah uh bring the animals into the ark he didn't he didn't bring him in groups of three and uh you know they say follow the science until the science disagrees with the philosophy science has told us as long as man has been here there is a male and there is a female so we have something other than that people can't be delivered from whatever needs to be and can be by anything amen don't let anybody tell you also don't let any anyone tell you that your country is a is a racist country there there are some people in it as there are everywhere in the world who are racist america's not a racist country you had a president of the united states a african-american elected in 2008. amen praise god as president of the united states and african americans are only 13 of the country well then who then elected that black man president white people did now you got a black vice president well you're only third you're still only 13 you didn't elect them okay amen in other words i want you to not listen to the college professors phd miles will stand for brother hagin used to say post hole digger amen hallelujah don't bind in that foolishness you're not a group no group is going to stand before god only individual people and they're all kind of people there are good people bad people hallelujah of all races sizes and colors amen why do you think last thing to the youth why do you think people including people of color are trying to get into this country from all old days scratching claw anyway people of color can get this country do they know something we don't know they trying to get here from africa and the caribbean and everywhere why do you think they're trying to get in here what do they know that we don't know that this is still the best place on the face of the earth [Applause] people typically talk like that people ain't never been nowhere else up on vacation but i've stayed in homes in every continent observe amen and i can tell you firsthand been there seen that done that praise god don't dump on your own place be glad god made you an american and not an afghan happy annie in afghanistan be grateful for what god has given you be thankful for where you live that's all i want to say to the youth but just don't buy all that foolishness let it go in one ear out the other turn to saint john chapter 10 please let's get another word praise god i'm continuing where i started last week on victory during troubled times this is part two amen thank you lord jesus remember on last week we also commented on the things that the apostle paul wrote timothy and also the church of thessa thessalonica he talked about at the end of days that it would be very difficult times in fact the scriptures would turn perilous times which means there will be times that are difficult and dangerous that the closer you get to the second coming of the lord jesus christ the more difficult more dangerous the days will become until you get to the days of the actual second coming of the lord and the bible says there will be just like the days of noah and in the days of noah the entire earth was completely filled with violence and every man did everything that was just right in his own eyes as opposed to god's own eyes and the bible said there that that they corrupted god's way and so praise god and if you don't know that we are if you don't understand that we are near the the end of days you have no spiritual understanding because nearly all of the things that are required for that have happened have happened the bible is true it's amazing to me the longer i study it the more i know it's amazing to me how accurate the scripture is from everything about weather in the end of days praise god to what happened with governments and all this stuff's already written now so then let's ask this question today why do these things these negative things occur well there are two reasons in particular let's read saint john chapter 10 the words of jesus jesus said in verse 10 the thief which is of course satan he's also called lucifer in scripture which says the thief cometh not for but to steal to kill and to destroy and so satan's mentality satan's nature is to kill steal destroy anything and everything that's what he's about that's what he does but the second reason why these times like these are occur are occurring and are increasing with great philosophy uh ferocity turn to revelations last book of the bible and i'll show you another reason revelations chapter 20 please hallelujah and let's begin reading here verse 1. and i saw an angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand and he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent which is the devil and satan and bound him a thousand years and cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled and after that he must be loosed to season satan knows that's the second reason satan knows that his time is short he knows he's about to get locked up for a long time amen this is called in scripture the millennium of course thousands this is called the millennium amen and uh the millennium during this time in fact let me give you kind of the chronology of events leading up to the millennium and then what happens and what happens at the very end of the millennium at the end of days praise god you have israel become a nation again which has happened amen you come to the place praise god whereby things become to the place whereby the rapture of the church takes place rapture means the church is caught up what is withholding satan and stopping satan from his goal his goal is world domination his goal is world destruction he wants to dominate the whole earth and have everything under his knee he wants to be god like he said about himself i want to be like the most high in daniel the book of daniel amen that's his that's his goal but there is somebody that's in the way and what's in the way of that happening is a unit called the church they are called the salt of the earth light of the world praise god city set up on the hill that's who they are it's the church and the church is preventing satan from being able to do what it is he wants to do but there is a point praise god then where god then removes the church out of the way and thessalonians say he that letteth will let amen that he is the church and the church is caught up and taken away for seven years which begins with the scripture called uh the tribulation period which is a seven year period of time the first three and a half years is actually called tribulation the back three and a half years is called great tribulation jesus said about this seven year time frame that if it were not ended no flesh would be left alive on the earth how bad it would be during the tribulation period then during this time there will eventually become a a cataclysmic war event that will be so destructive that it would it would be nearly world ending and as the scripture said the kings of the east from the orient i believe that's china but the kings of the east asian companies uh countries would band together in a military cooperative fashion and will march across all of asia kill almost one quarter of the earth in doing so all that will think about all those countries from china all the way to israel fight its way all the way to israel there is a man that scripture refers to as the beast it's called the anti-christ anti-the anointed one his anointing this man will be raised in the west western europe the what we call the european union is the forerunner of this other nations from the west will also descend upon jerusalem this man called antichrist will have conquered israel seemingly the temple there on the temple mount in israel the old temple will have been restored a lot in that i'm not going there today but will have been restored but this man then at a time when israel calls themselves being safe having safety will be he will attack them seemingly overcome them will actually go into the temple into the most holy the holies and proclaim himself as god well the two forces from the east and west will convene in the valley of magato there which i've taken people to uh in israel to fight it out to see who's going to rule the world but they are going to have a surprise because when they too come to battle there on israel's land which is god's land the scripture says that will be the return of the lord jesus christ this is called the second coming and the scripture said he will come with the army of his saints row or robed in white and that he will come and defeat them with the sword out of his mouth as he says his word and it says there that the death toll it will take seven years to collect all of the debris after this battle and that the blood will rise to the bridle of a horse at the end of that battle armageddon begins a thousand-year period called millennia satan then who is behind the perpetrator of all this battle and death satan is bound as we have just read for a thousand years when he is bound bound for those thousand years the whole character of the planet changes how people operate even how animals operate all changes turn to isaiah the 11th chapter praise god let me share a little bit this with you before i kind of go where i'm headed but in isaiah the 11th chapter if i can get three hallelujahs i might go forward well verse 1 of isaiah 11 and there shall come forth a rod out of the stem or root of jesse a branch shall grow out of his roots that's jesus and the spirit of the lord shall rest upon him spirit of wisdom understanding counsel might knowledge fear of the lord and the father shall make him a quick understanding in the fear of the lord he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes neither approve of the hearing of his ears but with righteousness shall he judge the poor and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth amen that's going to be a dead battle and with the breath of his lip shall he slay the wicked and righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins and faithfulness the girdle of his reigns now watch this the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb how do you know that wolves don't lay down next to lambs wolves eat lambs the wolf shall shall dwell with the lamb the leopard shall lay down with the kid the calf and the young lion and the fatlings will be together and a child can lead them the cow and the bear shall feed the young ones shall lie down together the lion shall eat straw like the ox you see the earth well i'll make ahead of myself like the ox and the suckling child shall play on the whole of the asp and the wing child shall put his hand on the cockatrice den in other words that snakes will not be poisonous and they won't harm you and so much so that a child could sit on a hole of a snake's den and can play with the snake because this nature has changed they shall not hurt nor destroy and all my holy mountain but the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the lord as the waters cover the sea and in that day there shall be a root out of jesse which shall stand for a sign of the people for it shall be the gentile seek and his rest shall be glorious amen and so during this thousand-year reign amen things have changed what's changed what's changed is that the agitator of all mankind and everything on the earth has been arrested adam and eve fell because they were tempted by satan and satan is behind all of the stuff that kills steals and destroys but when he is locked up you will see even the animals won't have a carnivorous nature even the lion will play along with everybody else because they were not created the way they are now their nature became the way it is today because of sin that came on the planet but god created them amen he created them to eat plants and straw and other things even the lion so when satan is removed from all human contact then what also happens is is that people then live back like in early biblical days when people began to live 600 700 you read early in the bible so and so live 800 years so and so live 900 years so and so lived 600 years people began to live that long again amen and the scripture says that a person that's a hundred years old will be considered a babe so the whole nature of the planet has changed amen now the scripture also tells us however that satan is not like us in this sense there is forgiveness for us but there is no forgiveness for satan why because nobody tempted satan satan had no tempter nobody came to him and made satan come against god satan decided himself i am beautiful i will be like the most high god i set myself above the north saint's the one who did that and he had no temptation so there is no forgiveness for him there is forgiveness for us because we are involved in a battle come on somebody in fact now go back to revelations chapter 20. i'll prove this point to you just a little bit further amen in revelations chapter 20 again amen now i stopped reading over there around verse three praise god again the same time no time to read all of it and i'm not teaching on bible prophecy per se today but praise god let's begin with verse seven and when the thousand years or the millennium are ended satan shall be loosed out of his prison and he shall go out to deceive there's that word again see deceived means someone is putting forth a theory a hypothesis a system of of belief that is untrue jesus said in matthew 24 the number one thing that would happen in the end of days is deception so the first thing that satan does when he gets loosed out of prison he goes and he begins to deceive the ethnos now the word nations is the greek word new testament translated from the greek history greek word ethnos refers to ethnicity he's not talking about nation states he's talking about everybody on the earth once again he goes back to work to deceive all nations which are in the four corners of the earth to gather them together to battle the number of whom that the sand of the sea because the population of the earth will just be full and they went up on the breadth of the earth and compassed the camp of the saints about because the saints will rule the planet from the beloved capital city what is the capital city of the world jerusalem hebrew is the first language and israel is the capital city of the world it is the center of the planet and it will be where jesus will set up his headquarters and that's where the headquarters of the saints will be they will attack the camp of the saints the beloved city and fire will come down from heaven in the story then you read the rest of it there's the great white throne judgment and all things that happened the next chapter talked about the new earth and the new jerusalem and all the things that happened in it now so we can see here praise god then god is not the enemy he has never been he's been lied on by the enemy to make you think he's your problem here is your answer not your problem now i want to tell you that god never loses adam and eve succumbed to satan's deception but god will have a people with him forever who will walk in victory conquering overcome and save term of revelation since we're there revelations chapter 12. you can see with some of the characteristics of an overcomer is praise god hallelujah amen in chapter 12 of revelations let's take a look here at verse 9. thank you jesus and the great dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and satan which deceives the whole world he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him her loud voice sang in heaven now has come salvation and strength the kingdom of our god and the power of his christ for the accuser of our brethren is cast down which accused them before our god day and night and they overcame him how by the blood of the lamb [Music] by the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives to the death they overcame him because jesus blood was shed they lined their mouth up then praise god with what god said and the words of their testimony hallelujah and their attitude was we will die before we change thank you jesus amen and now and what caused these people to act in this manner first john 5 4 faith this is the victory that overcomes even our faith the greek word for faith is pissed us our trust our confidence our belief our reliance and assurance on god almighty this is why faith is such a big deal now you find the word faith used in 234 verses in the bible hebrews 11 chapter verse 6 says without faith it is not possible to please god it said he that comes to god must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that seeks him praise god why faith because god wants you to succeed why does god want you to succeed john 3 16 god so loved you amen that he gave the one who shed the blood god loves you and he wants you to win tell somebody that in fact you tell somebody else too on the other side the same thing god's in love with you god loves you he wants you to succeed praise god and you know the word love is mentioned in 286 verses in the bible even modern faith now god if i can kind of use this term god has stacked the playing field in your favor and he did it through the sacrifice of jesus turn in first john chapter 3 praise god we're not far from there since we're in revelations first john chapter 3 we'll read here at verse 8. he that committeth sin is of the devil now the word the greek word here you know again the greek the new testament translated from that that word is poet oh that poi means continued or when he says here that he that committed of sin he that continues sin in other words you know a christian may fall down they may do something but they get back up in fact the bible says a good man falls down seven times and gets back up still gets up hallelujah but he's talking about an individual that continues in sin he's decided that i'm going to follow this life-size lifestyle of sin and i'm going to stay here see so he that continues in sin is of the devil goes on to say for the devil sinner from the beginning for this purpose this is the reason the son of god or jesus appeared that he might destroy the works of the devil now the word destroy is luo and the word that word luo means to loosen it doesn't mean to obliterate something so that it doesn't exist it means to loosen the ergons the word works the deeds the actions of the of the devil amen and so you know if i were using as a demonstrator and if i were uh tightly held upon your risk and that grant me now i held it on tight okay so i got you one bonus so you can't move to be loosened though would mean that my hands are still here but now amen you can have freedom to move what you are surrounded with all around the world it's the ergon it's the works the deeds the actions of kill steal and destroy the devil and before you receive the blood of jesus you are held tightly as a slave but now praise god that blood came so it could be loosened so that you can be free to operate glory to god hallelujah even though you are surrounded with all kind of kills still and destroyed when it comes to you because of the blood you are free at last now satan has favorite tools he likes to use okay amen those twos have been defeated by jesus they've been loosened praise god he loves to use sickness and disease praise god but through jesus praise the lord what's been providing you is healing satan likes to use early death and danger through jesus you have available to you long life and protection satan likes to use lack of knowledge and ignorance but because of jesus you have the wisdom of god available to you satan likes to use financial lack but because of the blood of jesus you have available to use supernatural provision satan tries to get you over in the sin praise god god knows and so because of it he has provided something else for you called mercy and much more god gave you all those tools so that you might be an overcomer of satan and his works in the earth and all these tools are ramped up in one thing called the grace of god now the greek word for grace is charis amen turn to hebrews chapter 4. thank you jesus hebrews chapter four uh one of my favorite verses is verse 16 in the bible praise god for actually 14 through 16. but we're going to read 16 right now come back to 14. he says let us therefore come piracius the word boldly means unashamedly comes it comes like like i don't have to be ashamed at all just let me just walk on up there right let us come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain ellos it's the word mercies the word elos and fine charis amen and so again i'ma say this and again i have a tv audience and internet audience and whatever so i said for them amen mercy and grace are not the same thing people use them in those terms interchangeably they are not interchangeable they're not even the same word they're not the same they are different greek words mercy is what's available to you because you have missed the mark what sin is mr mark we tend to think of sin only in terms of you know murder and theft and we tend to think of sin on your nose terms but the scripture teaches sin is any time you are not exactly where god wants you to be doing what he told you to do sin is when you don't come to him and find out daily what he wants you to do so you operate in darkness and because of that we are sometimes in the wrong place at the wrong time and in situations where satan tries to take advantage of us with kills steal and destroy and mercy is shown to us because mercy always goes before what grace is which i'll get in a minute and mercy is then shown to us and then grace comes behind the mercy because mercy always comes before grace god shows us mercy we don't deserve it we didn't listen we've been hard-headed but then grace gets employed anyway to stop what satan intended to wipe you out with and so instead of saying well the grace of god because the grace of god that's it actually you want to be accurate is the mercy of god and grace was the tool that god employed are you listening to me grace is favor grace is the strength of god in corinthians 12 amen god said to paul he said my grace is sufficient for my strength he called the grace of god the strength of god is made strong in your weakness and paul says well then most gladly will i glory therefore in that strength and read the greek amen that when i am weak then am i strong so grace gives you the ability to succeed grace of god gives you the ability to win remember hebrews chapter 10 verse 29 tells you one of the new testament names of god one of those names is the holy ghost the holy spirit is name the spirit of grace glory to god amen he's a person in fact turn to saint john 14. thank you jesus amen y'all helping me preach a little bit here yeah let me teach a little bit go over to god i'm going somewhere now in saint john chapter 14 verse 16 jesus tells us about that crazy that person of the holy ghost amen he says in verse 16 i will pray the father and he will give you another paracletos that's the word translated comforter praise god he's referring to the holy ghost we know that verse 26 because it says but the comforter which is the holy ghost so we know we're talking about the holy ghost and we've already read in hebrews 10 29 the holy ghost is the grace of god so he says so i will send you another comforter now the word comfort there means there i'll send you another comforter another helper another intercessor another advocate another strengthener another standby another teacher see all that is who that spirit of grace is unto you praise god he's the paracletos amen thank you jesus and the reason why he said i'm gonna send you another one because when he was walking on the earth with his disciples he was all that for them he said i'm your teacher i'm your helper i'm your stream you don't need nothing else he said and in luke he said when i sent you away two by two he said i told you don't even take any don't take any bread don't take any water don't take any don't take nothing he said now when you went out did you lack anything he said no see he was there so as long as he was there with with them he was their pericles he was there comforted but now he says i'm leaving i'm gonna go sit at the right hand of the throne of god i got another role i got to play which i'll show you in a minute but i'm gonna send you another one who's gonna do the same thing for those disciples on the earth and anybody in here is a disciple well the holy ghost is our parakleto since he's with us now now why why this is important as we go back to hebrews chapter four praise god why this is important again is that now we need to take a look at verse 16 again and we understand this let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of charis help strength praise god et cetera that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us now the greek word boethiah praise god's the word help that word means aid and support when necessary so he said come boldly to the throne of grace i will have compassion to the word mercy i will have compassion on you and you will find whatever aid or support you need whenever it's necessary now the context of hebrews 4 16 the context of that deck stacked in our favor just go back to verse 14. verse 14 says saying then that we have a great high priest remember what the high priest job was in biblical times during paul's time the high priest the chief priest of all the priests once a year on the day of atonement went into the temple into the most holy place called the holies of holies on the day of atonement offered up the blood of bulls and goats to god almighty to cover the sins of his own and of the people for another year but jesus is now called the the he's not called the high priest he's called the great high priest because in the holies of holy is where god is his blood was put on a mercy seat praise god god the father received his blood not to cover sins but to wash away it to take his stand sting away from us so that death doesn't have power anymore says oh death where is thy steam where is your victory jesus took it do you know what happened when the believers die even in a car rash the believer never even feels it all they know is that they saw something coming the next thing you know they'll be looking up in the heaven with all the glory they'll never feel a thing death has no sting for us we don't have to be afraid of death oh hallelujah somebody thank you jesus because of that blood anyway i don't get caught here that's so much time we have a great high priest that's passed into the heavens jesus the son of god that's who he is let us hold fast our profession for we don't have a high priest which cannot be touched with feelings of our infirmity the word infirmity means our weaknesses our inabilities our lack of strength he has felt it he understands what you and i go through he know what what it means to be wrapped up in one of these carbon 14 units and to be tempted he understands all of this stuff are you listening to me praise god so guess what he has mercy available for us that's why we have verse 16 then come boldly unto the throne of grace so we can have compassion instead of instant judgment when we miss the mark whether it's whether it is big or small and that's why first john 1 9 is available first john chapter 1 verse 9 is written to christians it said if you were homology ho if you will acknowledge how many of you since you've been born again anybody here born again let me ask you a question how many of you since you've been born again have sinned you sinned when you didn't raise your hand because you lied right then and there so now you've been saved the blood's been all that praise god and then you still messed up but god says in first john 1 9 written to christians if you would acknowledge your sin that's to him you've got to tell everybody in the world but if you acknowledge your sin god is faithful he can be counted on he's just he's qualified to forgive you of your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness you know if you've been cleansed from all unrighteousness what do you do drop down what are your righteousness again right standing with god he'll treat you as though it's never been he said in chapter two verse one my little children when you sin he said run to me when you sin you have an advocate a lawyer in front of the father jesus christ the righteous that lawyer said i'm the perpetuation i'm the victim that atoned for their sin so forgive them again glory to god now all of the god-given tools that i described are called salvation turn in ephesians chapter 2. thank you jesus the lord to have me go back now and to reteach some of this stuff to you so glory to god because you won't need it and you'll have victory with it now ephesians chapter 2 and you can find in verse 5 2 chapter 2 verse 5 and verse 8 i'm going to take verse 8 again to save time but it says that for ye are for by grace are ye saved the greek word for save is sozo souls means you are delivered people say well god have deliverance services everything you do in the bible is a deliverance service but you talking about people screaming spitting and stomping telling the devil to come out you ain't got to do all that to the devil to come out just saying jesus name out that's it you put on some men put shows on people you know in the name of jesus come out of here satan no you don't believe nothing you gotta do all that jesus didn't do none of that he just said come out i've done the same thing they just come out walk away you got to go it's in jesus name that word name um means authority i got faith in the name you've got no choice by delivering service that is a deliverance service everything is a delivery service just ignorance gone to seed well souls all means to be delivered it means to be protected means to be healed means to be preserved it means to be made whole made sound glory to god do well all of that praise god so you see it so by for by grace we've talked about it are you now then all those things how through pistols through faith through trust through belief through reliance and assurance it is the gift of god what is sozo and chorus praise god salvation faith grace all those things our gifts meaning what you didn't earn them it wasn't that you you were so so so bad that you you know that you get all in you you got so bad you got to the next level no god says no you can't earn nothing on your own you ain't got no strength on your own let me cause you to have all this let me let me stack the deck for you because i love you and he gives us all these gifts amen how through the manifestation of faith and that grace can get bigger you could have bigger and greater manifestation of the grace of god turn to ii peter chapter two thank you jesus you can have more of it you have more of the power manifest glory to god you have more of all the salvation things ii peter chapter 1 verse 2 says grace and peace i reign our reign means rest prosperity and quietness grace and peace be multiplied unto you how through the knowledge of god that's the father and of jesus our lord that's the son according as his divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godly living how through the knowledge gnosis of him that called us the glory and virtue whereby given unto us exceeding great and precious promises by these promises you might be partakers of the god like nature escaping the corruption ruin that's in the world because of their lust note he said the key to everything with knowledge of god he said the more you understand the father the more you know about the father that comes from meditation the more you understand about the father and the more you understand about the character the heart amen and why jesus does what he does the more trust confidence belief your heaven more you examine this track record the more trust confidence beliefs you have of them call faith and the more faith you have the more the holy spirit can work on your behalf the more grace can be employed that's why the job of the local church overwhelmingly is not preaching to christians that's why the job of the local church is 90 teaching and 10 preaching because my people are destroyed for not for lack of sincerity not for lack of singing shouting and dancing lack of knowledge amen you have 10 preaching why because even though you know sometimes somebody got to kick you in the butt or get you stirred up to do what you already know but if you have preaching without the teaching you have lots of goose pimples lots of emotion lots of shouting of ignorant people who satan defeats and you're facing with sickness disease and poverty and lack and they go to heaven early and they suffer while they're here and yeah they get to heaven but down here is not supposed to be a place of kill stealing destroyer now let me come down the home stretch during ephesians chapter four anybody get anything out of here now all these advantages have been given you but you can stop put a halt to your advantages so i'm in here and tell you how you can stop those advantages for working for you and you can make them what they do not work here in ephesians chapter 4 let's begin reading with verse 17. paul writes to the church at ephesus this i say therefore testifying the lord that ye henceforth walk not like other gentiles as people don't know god walk in the vanity the depravity of their minds or of their intellect word mind having their mind darkened being alienated or cut off from the life of god through this is through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart word blindness means their heart became hard who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness that's word filthiness so when you start talking about men with men and women with women and and all sorts of stuff you're talking filthiness so that's last is this stuff amen to work all uncleanness with greediness that word covetousness that's when you won't ever somebody else's stuff because you've been looking at somebody else's stuff and then become greedy become jealous and envious and i want it and so you will then do things to take it from them it's called covetousness jesus said thou shalt not covet amen said you said it for one of the ten commandments thou shall not covet nothing of your neighbors had said come on somebody it's starting to get quiet here he said you didn't learn that from christ if so that you have heard him and i've been taught by him as the truth is in jesus put off concerning the former behavior the old man which is ruined according to his deceitful lust lust is not just sexual lust is when you got to have anything other than what god provides amen instead be renovated in the spirit of your understanding i know okay all right enough be renewed in the spring of your understanding that you put on now this is what you do do he just told you what you don't do now he's going to tell you what to do put on the new man which after god's created in righteousness and true holy living put away lying speak every man truth with his neighbor for we are members one of another be angry and sin not control yourself let not the sun go down upon your wrath do not carry stuff over the next day see all this all this writing all this stuff is all of the devil work you up see satan is a master button pusher so he wants to find out what can i do to get a rise out of you for some people was this some people was that some people was that whatever will punch your button makes you get away from god get away from the word and get just totally open to the flesh he will push that button and keep pushing it as long as you continue to have the reaction he wants all you got to say to black people is race you didn't push the button you kicked the button forget everything lose your brain that's all you gotta say amen good preacher whoa that man preaching him ain't no sense sending me no letters ain't gonna make me change what i preach my job is to preach the word i'm studying the book of jeremiah right now they say in two places in jeremiah we're gonna kill you because of what you're preaching i'm not gonna do to you what jeremiah did jeremiah said to them kill them god i'm not going there all right it's keep reading he said but be angry and sin not let the sun go down upon your wrath neither give topes to the devil the greek word that torpos don't give the devil any land don't give them an inch don't give them a foot there used to be a song we sustained 40 years ago don't let the devil ride so i went if you let the devil ride he will surely try to drive don't let him ride that's right man see if if if if he get the foot in the door that's where stack attacks come from if he can get a foot in the door he got to open it let me rush is my stuff that i can get into that one open as i can so i'm not going to hit you with just one because that door was open i'm going to hit you i got a chance to get two in there i'm gonna get two on there for that door closes i'm gonna get three in there if i can before that door closes when you figure out where you need to repent and do what you need to do and close that door get out back in the face but he'll stack them attacks on you as long as that door is open so you get some stack attacks you need to say okay lord where did i open the door help me find it let's slam it shut amen [Applause] he said don't give the enemy any place keep reading let him that stole still no more but rather let him labor working with his hands it is not right it's not biblical for you to receive money from the government and you don't do nothing unless you are unable the bible talks about the agent and the unable but if you are able body for you to be taking a check just because it's there you are in violation of the book i don't care what they told you the truth is here let him work with his hands the thing which is good that he may have to give to him that native in other words praise god his lifestyle is that he is a giver and that giving is his seed he don't work for a living he works for again and he lives supernaturally by faith his seed come makes it come back harvest time comes on every wave almost done you're almost you're almost there you're almost there y'all still love me let no corrupt the word corrupt here means worthless from god's viewpoint let no worthless communication come out of your mouth but that which is good to the use of edifying praise god in other words that it builds somebody else up that they may minister grace when the deafness of grace is also benefit benefiting to the hearers and grieve not the spirit of grace greed means make him sad if you make him sad because you are operating the opposite of god's word and way you shut down all the things all the advantages that god intended for you by these things here he said grieve not the holy spirit of god whereby you are sealed until the day of your deliverance let all of it all of it all of it let all acidity or bitterness let all wrath of indignation let all anger or vengeance let all clamor or outcry let all evil speaking all cussing how do you know that christians don't use four letter words i ain't seen no hands how do you know that christians don't use for a letter word let me see your hands i didn't say how many you used for a little i said how many you know you're not supposed to lift your hand why are you all so timid the lifter [Music] oh there's a whole lot of timidity in here like put away from you all malice and be kind one to another tenderhearted forgiven each other just like god for christ's sake now the word here's sake the word in the word's sake is the word position christ is the unknown his anointing remember who christ is ephesians chapter 1 verse 22 says that jesus is the head and you are the body and that you fulfill all in all you are jesus in the earth you have the same anointing you have the same word you are the light of the world the soul of the earth hallelujah that's why satan can't do what he wants as long as you are still here because the holy ghost is on you and he can't do nothing with him hallelujah glory for christ's position well if you act with all malice and all anger and all all those other kind of stuff and you fall for all of the anger and you do all of that you make christ look bad and people say well if that's you what you get when you get jesus i already got that i don't need that they want to see something different they want to see somebody praise god got something on them other people don't have they want to see somebody able to go through something and not get over in anger they want to see somebody that's got some power manifest they want to see somebody who's able to go through the darkness yeah they can walk through the valley of the shadow of death and not fear no evil for god is with them his round his word is with them hallelujah goodness and mercy will follow them all the days of their life that's what they need so then the position that christ is in is that they see you and they want jesus stand with me to your faith glory to god glory to god glory to god see the bible is god speaking to you in it is the words of life it tells you how you're supposed to think what you're supposed to believe how you're supposed to live how you're supposed to react what you're supposed to do i don't care if somebody's sitting in the church calling themselves christian if they won't agree with god's word they don't understand they are not agreeing with god because there is no difference between god's word and god amen amen hallelujah let your hands give god praise then for the word father we thank you for the word we give you praise and glory for the word we honor the word we are grateful you have granted us the word of god hallelujah oh thank you holy spirit for revealing the truth of the word to us even more and more and more and more and we're so grateful gratefulness opens the door for more tell the lord you're thankful for the word today thankfulness opens the door for more glory to god all we thank you for we're so grateful thank you and that's why people again for the audience that's why it matters where you go to church why it matters because nothing in the church should have an equal priority with the preaching and teaching of the word nothing shall get even time even closer to the preaching and teaching of the word are you using an intimate if we do nothing else here the one thing that's going to get the full time is going to be the word of god the word is the lamp to my feet people run the churches because i like the choir i like the music i like this or that because it's closer and all of that that was our spiritually dumb decisions and you pay for them when satan comes to steal kill and destroy thank you jesus now every heads bowed and every eyes closed in prayer no one's moving the walk except the people who sign and those of you in the internet audience or television audience god loves you so much he's made a way for you but this all starts with you by receiving the savior himself jesus christ of nazareth we quoted it today scripture the world knows john 3 16 for god so loved you you're the world that he gave his only begotten son for you you'll believe on him you should not perish but have life forever god wants you with him forever but that's your decision you can decide i don't want him i don't want his way i don't want his word i don't want to be with him and you won't be we understand that we don't want to be with someone we don't want to be married to someone who don't want to be with us god wants you to warn him he's done so much for you he said if you he that comes to me i will know why he's cast out in other words he said i won't i won't throw you away i won't say no to you if you come my way i will receive you doesn't matter what your past has been don't matter what's happened or you've done he will receive you the question is will you receive him let me give you that chance the bible says in the 10th chapter book of romans verses 9 10 13 that if you will acknowledge with your mouth that jesus christ is the highest authority in the world of all if you would believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead that he's the son of god the bible said you'll be saved goes on to tell you how verse 10 with the heart you believe on the righteousness and with your acknowledgement your mouth is made unto your own deliverance romans 10 13 says whosoever that would include any man woman boy or girl any color creed nation wherever you're from but whosoever shall call on the name of the lord shall be so so shall be healed delivered made whole made sound all these things available to you that i talked about today you can receive today but it starts with receiving jesus as lord i'm not talking about becoming a church member just because you come to youth church because your parents are in the church doesn't mean you're saved at all you can go to hell you have to make a decision yourself you want to be grown this is a growing decision to receive jesus christ yourself be born again and follow his call for your life there might be people here who say well you know i i'm born again but i let the enemy tempt me i let him move me i fell away from god well you can come back to him i already told you he's got mercy for you he said come boldly he said i'll give you mercy first john 1 9 i've already quoted if you would have just acknowledged to him he's faithful and just he will forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness big or small then there might be someone here that says you know i want everything god wants me to have now we're talking you should want everything god wants you to have one of the things he wants you to do to be filled with the spirit is so much overflowing that you begin to speak with tongues that's the spirit this bible says the spirit will give you utterance manner or style of speaking why would he do that so you can operate even more efficiency first corinthians 14 2 says he that prays in unknown tongues prays divine secrets unto god he's not just playing praying in the flesh or his mind he's praying things only god knows verse 4 says he that prays in an unknown tongue edifies himself he builds itself stronger spiritually god won't you be able to do that and other things finally there might be someone here that says you know i need i know that this is the church i need i need to be part of a church like that we'll be honored to receive you here word of faith whether you are overseas or somewhere else in the country praise god we have membership for people wherever you might be you can do that online
