1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,400 Welcome to the Cross Power Church podcast. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,800 You're listening to a service from our church in Campbell, TX. 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,480 We pray this message strengthens your faith and points you to the 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,840 cross. Now let's join the service. 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,320 How your Bibles this morning? Let's stand in the reading of 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,160 the Word of God and second Peter. 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:29,840 Second Peter setting a scripture. 8 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,360 See first Peter. It dealt with problems from the 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,880 outside. You know, we're good sometimes 10 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,000 at dealing with problems from the outside, but second Peter 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,960 deals with. Problems from the inside. 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,160 Peter is warning believers here against false teachers and and 13 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:53,840 trying to that are trying to peddle damaged doctoring and 14 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,680 doctoring that has been twisted but he he begins this was 15 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,000 telling us to keep a close watch. 16 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,920 On our personal life. A close watch if you haven't 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,880 noticed in life, your personal life will affect you and people 18 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,040 around you. But God began to deal with me 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,840 about this message several months ago. 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,080 When I I. Titled it Side Effects. 21 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,960 Anybody ever had a side effect? Side effects are everywhere 22 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:23,360 today but in Second Peter chapter 1. 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,080 I'm going to begin. Reading here in verse 2 and it 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,200 says grace and peace be multiplied. 25 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,560 I like. That not added. 26 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,360 Grace and peace. We need our grace and we need 27 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360 our peace multiplied today as never before. 28 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,320 We serve a God of multiplication. 29 00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,920 He don't just add to, He multiplies. 30 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,040 Grace and peace be multiplied to you and the knowledge of God and 31 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,560 of Jesus. Our Lord as His. 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,160 Divine power has given to us all things. 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,160 Well, that's powerful. His divine power has given to us 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,840 all things, not church doctrine. His divine power has given to us 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,360 all things that pertain to life and godliness. 36 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,880 When we look around, we see people looking for things that 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,000 God can supply, but many times it doesn't pertain to life and 38 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,280 it doesn't pertain to godliness. It pertains to the next quick 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,640 fix of the problem, the next blessing. 40 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,040 He says, I can give you all things that pertain to life and 41 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,160 godliness. How? 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,040 Through the knowledge of Him. You got to receive it through 43 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,720 the knowledge of Him. Who called us by glory and 44 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,560 virtue? Isn't that cool? 45 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,160 You know what virtue. Means right there a. 46 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,880 High moral standard it means glory and living right. 47 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,800 We could say right there by which we have been get and 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,920 here's why it's important verse 4 by which we have been given to 49 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,800 given to us exceedingly great and precious. 50 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,880 Promises that through. These you may be partakers. 51 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840 Of the divine nature. So if you had got glory and 52 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,080 virtue, you can partake of the divine nature of Christ, Peter 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,040 was saying here, having escaped the corruption that's in the 54 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,600 world through lust. Verse. 5 But also for this very 55 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:19,120 reason, giving all diligence. Be diligent in your walk, he 56 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,560 says. Be diligent in your walk. 57 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,200 Add to your faith, virtue. Don't just believe, believe what 58 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,000 you believe. Add some holiness, add some 59 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,640 virtue, and the virtue comes knowledge, and to knowledge 60 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,360 comes self-control. See how these work together and 61 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,040 that we need self-control and the self-control, perseverance 62 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,160 and the perseverance godliness. To godliness there will come 63 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,280 brotherly. Kindness and the brotherly. 64 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,080 Kindness. Love. 65 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,520 For if these things, why is it important? 66 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,200 Peter goes on to tell. If these things are yours? 67 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520 I asked you this morning, Are these things yours? 68 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,360 Do they abound in your life? He said. 69 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,240 Because if they do, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in 70 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,080 the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. 71 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,880 There's many Christians that are barren and unfruitful today 72 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,399 because they haven't took on the virtue and the knowledge of 73 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,800 Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is 74 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,840 short sighted. You can't see a head. 75 00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:26,640 You may know about God, but you you're not going to see a head. 76 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,280 You're only going to see the here and now. 77 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,520 You're going to be short sighted. 78 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,880 You're going to be like I am trying to see your face through 79 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,280 these threes this morning. You're short sighted. 80 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,920 Even the blindness, you may not even see it all. 81 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,320 Anybody know anybody like that and has forgotten? 82 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,320 See, when you can't see, you forgot that you was cleansed 83 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,040 from your old sins. Therefore, brother, and be even 84 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,320 more diligent to make your call and election Sure. 85 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,120 Know where you're headed. Know what you're doing. 86 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,960 For if you do these things, well, it's right here. 87 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,160 I see a bunch of Christians walking around looking for a 88 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,240 stumbling block. If you do these things, you'll 89 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,600 never stumble. I didn't say it. 90 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,000 Peter did. And Peter had stumbled, right? 91 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,280 But he might. He can probably go back and say, 92 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,840 hey, I wasn't doing these things when I stumble. 93 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,720 But I learned that there's no good in the stumbling. 94 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,640 So now I'm not going to stumble around anymore. 95 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,160 I'm going to put the knowledge 1st. 96 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,920 I'm going to put the virtue first in my life and quit 97 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,680 worrying about the things of this world. 98 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,560 And I'm not going to stumble anymore. 99 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,040 And look what's cool. About that when you don't 100 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,640 stumble, it says so an entrance will be supplied to you 101 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:47,040 abundantly into the everlasting. Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ 102 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,160 Father. We thank you for. 103 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,520 Your word this morning. Thank you that your word's. 104 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,400 True, it's real, it's life, it's sharper than A2 edged sword, but 105 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,760 I. Pray today, Father you. 106 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,000 Would just help us to realize that in this life we will have 107 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,560 side effects, we will have things that affect us inside and 108 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,600 out and all around if we don't take the knowledge of the word 109 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,680 of God and apply it to our life and and. 110 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,240 Add to our faith. Virtue and patience and love and 111 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,720 kindness. Father, I pray today you just 112 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,720 get it into our. Heart and our soul and our mind, 113 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,880 in Jesus name, Amen. There was a man named Isaac 114 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,760 Newton. He was far before our time. 115 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,600 He lived from 1643 to 1720. 7 Some of you are almost there, 116 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,440 but not. Quite. 117 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,840 He came up with some pretty neat things. 118 00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,760 You couldn't Google it. You had to try it out. 119 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,920 Then you had to use objects. You had to use things, but he 120 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,200 came up with some laws. I believe there were three of 121 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,640 them. Not going to touch on them all, 122 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,040 but he came up with what was called laws of motion. 123 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,920 Laws of motion. Christians need some motion 124 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,000 today. Not just emotion, but motion. 125 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,760 You know, you can have emotion and never go anywhere and do 126 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,560 anything. You can just be an emotional 127 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:05,040 being that's all torn up from the floor up, that's always cry, 128 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,800 that's always snotting, that's always letting things. 129 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,840 We can be emotional and not be effective, right? 130 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,520 I'm talking about motion moving. But Newton said this, he he came 131 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,240 up with this with these things and he tried them out. 132 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,520 But it was called the laws of motion, which relate an object's 133 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,760 motion to the forces that act upon it. 134 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,600 I related this to spiritual things today. 135 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,760 Can I say that again, we relate an object's motion, how it's 136 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,200 moving to forces that act upon it in the first law? 137 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,720 An object, he said, will not change its motion unless a force 138 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,280 acts upon it. You know, there's many people in 139 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,520 the body of Christ, many Christians, including you. 140 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,520 You would have never changed your motion, your direction, had 141 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,960 God not have acted something upon you. 142 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,520 Sometimes it's an old heavy trial. 143 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,560 Sometimes it's a loss of a loved one. 144 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,000 Sometimes it could be a divorce, it could be financial calamity. 145 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,960 It could be so many things. But yet God can be working in it 146 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,920 because had He not ever acted upon the motion that you were 147 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,560 in, many wouldn't be alive today. 148 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,640 Can I get a witness Are still headed for a devil's hell. 149 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,120 So see, in his first law, an object will not change its 150 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,960 motion unless a force acts upon it. 151 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,160 In the second law, the force on an object is equal to the mass 152 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,559 times the acceleration. You educated people can go 153 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,480 figure that out. I'm not explaining it, but many 154 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,960 people, God's children and those that have never been born again, 155 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,200 they fall under Newtons first law. 156 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,680 I'm going to read it again. And object will not change its 157 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:48,960 motion unless a force acts upon it. 158 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,280 Sometimes God's moves upon us in ways that we do not understand. 159 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,640 Can I get a witness? We don't understand the trial. 160 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,800 We don't know. But we have to trust that God 161 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,440 does, and He's moving up on us, right? 162 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,640 We did not. Jesus didn't understand the 163 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,800 cross and the outside circumstances that surrounded 164 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,000 the cross, but inside it was working a far it far heavier, 165 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,080 eternal weight of glory. But an object will not change 166 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,360 its motion unless a force. Acts upon it what? 167 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,080 Is God trying to tell us? Today. 168 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,160 Don't get down in your maybe in 25 there were some side effects 169 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,880 that came your way from the trial that you went into. 170 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,920 We're about to turn the page. I love turning the pages to a 171 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,760 new year. I don't look back at what 172 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,880 happened there because this is a new year. 173 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,560 If I keep looking back, the enemies coming with something 174 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,720 new to attack me with that I got to be aware of. 175 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,440 But see many will leave 25 and enter into 26, never looking for 176 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,560 change, never expecting anything to happen. 177 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,320 Come on, stay with me this morning. 178 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,880 Their motion, the way they live, the way they move, the way they 179 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,080 react to certain situations never changes. 180 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,760 We can't react to situations the same way and expect a different 181 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,840 outcome. As Newton states, a body remains 182 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,920 at rest, are in motion at a constant speed in a straight 183 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,280 line unless it's acted upon. As this will be the last sermon 184 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,040 that many here in 25, I begin to look back and think about. 185 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,600 So many people that I knew that come through. 186 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,720 The doors of the. Church that I don't. 187 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:27,160 See anymore that were in motion for the Kingdom, they got moving 188 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,480 a little bit. Come on somebody they seen God 189 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,760 move in their life and maybe move in their situation a little 190 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,480 bit and they got their faith kind of stirring. 191 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,560 But something called Satan, which is a roaring lie. 192 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:43,720 He began to roar. They begin to hear the roar and 193 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,080 with the roar came the force that hit them right? 194 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,760 It hit them when the force of the roaring lion hits you, and 195 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,960 it will anybody got hit this year. 196 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,400 When the enemy hits you, there will be side effects. 197 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,560 Physically, spiritually, financially, mentally, 198 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:05,440 emotionally, the list goes on. And on. 199 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,200 But see side effects amaze me I I heard this little commercial. 200 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,520 Talking about side effects, that's where I got this message. 201 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,800 It amaze. Me at all the side effects the 202 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,280 enemy has. I mean, the side effects of sin 203 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,720 are everywhere, everywhere, everywhere. 204 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,120 People talk, you know, a lot of. People say, well, if it wasn't 205 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,440 for my. Wife I could live for God, the 206 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,360 one for my. Husband. 207 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,400 I could live for God, someone warned you. 208 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,120 About that side effect. Hello, I don't know about y'all. 209 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,560 But I checked my wife out before I. 210 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:40,480 Married her. Hey man, she was a deep water 211 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,280 Baptist. I could worship in a deep water 212 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800 Baptist Church. I like to cut it loose a little 213 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,280 bit. Hey, man, I said. 214 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,320 We can get married, but we're going over here, right? 215 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,440 That stuff's important, right? Very important. 216 00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:59,920 We see the side effects of sin. They're everywhere. 217 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,960 Like the little boy he got asked one. 218 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,920 Time, he said. They, he had been to a wedding 219 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,920 and he attended this wedding and and they, he heard the preacher 220 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,640 up there preaching. Evidently he was listening 221 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,880 because later on in class they had a discussion. 222 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,600 A few months later they said how many times can people get 223 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,840 married? He said that's easy. 224 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,120 He just said. What do you mean? 225 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,400 It's easy? It's a law, He said. 226 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,400 No, it's 16. He said 16 times. 227 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920 He said. Yeah, he said he says it right 228 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,280 there. For richer or poorer, for better 229 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,880 or worse, for sickness and in health, it's 16 times. 230 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,080 Some people took that to heart. You don't believe their side 231 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,040 effects of sin? Go to the Metroplex. 232 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,600 Look under the bridges. Look at the side. 233 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,040 Effects of sin. Look at the rehabs, look at the 234 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,960 rehabs, look at the divorce rates in America, look at the 235 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,520 homeless and and many when we look at these situations, 236 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,280 they've they've gotten so down so far, so low that unless. 237 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,560 God Almighty and they. Get a hold of the knowledge and 238 00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:06,000 the truth of God. There's no way out for many 239 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,640 other than. That hit. 240 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,640 By the side effects. Of a decision anybody ever hit. 241 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640 Been hit by the side? Effects of a decision, the side 242 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,280 effects of sin are everywhere we look at it, you know. 243 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,200 It amazes me but. Sin is like medicine. 244 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,680 The enemy convinces people that they can't. 245 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,080 Live without it. I'm not sure our doctors are 246 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,960 doing the same thing today. I came by to tell you in John 10 247 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,080 and 10 that the thief comes to kill, steal and destroy. 248 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,640 But Jesus. Came that we might have life and 249 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,720 have it more. Abundantly. 250 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,120 Let's look at this. Word side effects. 251 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,680 I like the definition, Webster says. 252 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,920 It's a secondary, typically undesirable effect, a secondary. 253 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,000 So it tells me a side effect is not really how I'm supposed to 254 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,600 feel, right? It's a side effect of what I 255 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,640 have done or what I have ingested into my body or even 256 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,160 what I have put in my mind and I believe can cause a side effect, 257 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,520 right? But yet all across America, as I 258 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,120 said, we are sheep. And as I said, sheep are dumb, 259 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,320 right? They need a shepherd. 260 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,960 They don't know, come here from Sikkim, they just wander around. 261 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,600 But yet we don't worry about the side. 262 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,960 Effects It's a. Secondary typical undesirable 263 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,640 effect. And this. 264 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,120 Says of a drug or a medical treatment. 265 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,600 It's a secondary effect but wait a minute, Jesus said I can have 266 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,040 life more abundantly, but I don't like the secondary effect. 267 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,760 Many people do evidently because see a secondary effect can 268 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,880 become a way that I'm not created. 269 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,200 Therefore, I am walking around in a body and I'm a person that 270 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,080 God did He created me, but my actions. 271 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,840 Due to the side. Effects are not of God. 272 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,840 We're not created in the image of a secondary effect. 273 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,520 We were. Created in the not created to 274 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,320 live. On the side effects. 275 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,480 But many people do. In Matthew 4, three and four 276 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,800 Jesus said when tempted by Satan, he said man cannot live 277 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,320 by bread alone. Can I tell you today man is 278 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,000 still trying to live on bread alone instead of every word that 279 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,520 proceeds out of the mouth of God? 280 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,400 Jesus said it cannot happen. Why? 281 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,760 Because you were created in the. Image of El Shaddai. 282 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,360 They want a true God, the Almighty God. 283 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,560 So side effects are a secondary condition to the child of God. 284 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,160 And yes, sin causes. Them. 285 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,240 So many live under. That rule. 286 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,240 So many lives. Ruined. 287 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,320 Think about it. I'm going to. 288 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,240 Preach it this morning. I'm not a preacher that's afraid 289 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,120 to tell you that. Drugs and alcohol. 290 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,800 Have side effects? Amen. 291 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,440 If you're an addict this morning. 292 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,480 You have side effects. See, seeing all this stuff sit 293 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:55,120 from Satan is is nothing unless I'm just it unless I and take it 294 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,000 he can attack me tomorrow and you know. 295 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,720 What it? Absolutely means it means. 296 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,880 Nothing. Unless I begin to chew upon it, 297 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,400 unless I begin to pull it down and put it in my mind and begin 298 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,920 to accept what Satan said, that's a lie, because he's the 299 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,960 author of confusion and I begin to put it in my mind. 300 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,080 And if I and I stir it around in my mind. 301 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,320 Enough it gets here. It becomes a side effect. 302 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,480 It becomes a secondary condition of who I am created to be all 303 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,120 this. Stuff is sent from Satan. 304 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,160 And it cannot affect me, but when I take it in then I. 305 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,440 Become a side effect. See. 306 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,880 The label's worn. Anybody here? 307 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,760 My God doctor's going to give me something one day and he told me 308 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,280 all this, he said cause a rash. I said I don't want a rash. 309 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,160 You go to the doctor. Well, I got this rash. 310 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,520 Take this, but it might cause a rash. 311 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,040 I've already got a rash. It causes anxiety man. 312 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,200 I'll meet up with. Anxiety. 313 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,560 I don't need no more anxiety, the doctor says. 314 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,400 I know what bud. It it might cause. 315 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,080 And then you know that they get, there's so many side effects of. 316 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,720 Everything you know but me and my wife. 317 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,000 Have had this conversation. Though the doctor gave. 318 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,720 It to you said. Take it that don't mean I got to 319 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,920 take it. If it don't work, I ain't taking 320 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,960 it. If my head's hurting and I take 321 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,040 some, it helps my head lookout, I might take it again. 322 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,000 So when they say take this and it's going to change that and I 323 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,480 wake up in the morning and it didn't change, I'm done. 324 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,680 I don't care what the prescription was, I'll try it. 325 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,280 I'm not against doctors, but I am against taking it if it don't 326 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,200 work and I am against taking it if the side effects are worse 327 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,560 than what I got. Hey man, just because the man 328 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,120 told me to take it, I don't need anxiety, digestive woes, easing 329 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:36,000 his headaches, drowsies, dry mouth, sleepless hallucinations, 330 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,800 heart problems, jaundice, rash, itching, watering eyes, unwanted 331 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,440 bowel movements, stomach problems, even suicidal 332 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,200 thoughts. They say it's a fact. 333 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,240 They just go on and on and you know what they're talking about. 334 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,800 A side effect. A side effect. 335 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,600 If it don't work, don't take it. Doctors don't know. 336 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,880 Everything that's in this body. But yet people take them by the. 337 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,480 Cupfuls. Why? 338 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,600 Because the doctor said I understand some things do help. 339 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,680 I'm not against that, but it better work. 340 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,200 Or I don't need it in my body? Here's what. 341 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,840 I'm saying this morning, all these side effects. 342 00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:25,560 So many are willing. To deal with the side effect. 343 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,000 Hoping. That there might be a change. 344 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,480 Hello. There's a lot of. 345 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,840 Christians go to church hoping. And trying church that there 346 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,120 might be a change. But see, God doesn't work that 347 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:43,640 way. See, the change is up to you. 348 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,120 Somebody grab their ear. And say that God's not. 349 00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:49,080 Setting up and. God will not come down and 350 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,600 change you. Hey man, you can cry till till 351 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,800 Jesus comes and God's not. Just going to come. 352 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,880 Down here and change you, but He's giving you His written word 353 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,640 and when you begin to open the pages and let God speak to you, 354 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,000 His word is A2 edged sword that will change your life. 355 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,960 And then you begin to commune with Him a little bit every day, 356 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,080 and He begins to drop the anointing of the Holy Ghost upon 357 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,240 you. And it begins to make you feel 358 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,360 different on the inside. And you realize that trial, that 359 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:20,120 temptation that I just went through, I couldn't do that 360 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:23,440 before, but now I can. And God begins to give you some 361 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,720 of his side effects, right? Think about the first shot of 362 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,960 whiskey and alcohol that. Become a side effect that lasted 363 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,320 the rest of the life caused them to. 364 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,760 Get in a car. And drive and kill some innocent 365 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,440 person and end up in prison. That is a side effect. 366 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,160 That is a side effect. Causes many to beat their 367 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,440 spouse, to beat their children, their kids and and and all these 368 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,480 things they have warning labels all. 369 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,560 Over them, but yet we're just not scared of the side effects. 370 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,000 We're willing. To take the side effect for a 371 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,800 moment of pleasure. Come on, preach with me. 372 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,320 Then it ends up something that you have to have more than love. 373 00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:11,960 See, there's an important thing about love in your life because 374 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,000 God is love. He may come in the form of a 375 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,600 person. He may come that way. 376 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,680 But we have to have it. They have to have it more than. 377 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,640 Food. They have to have it more than a 378 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,320 roof over there. What am I talking about? 379 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,440 A side effect. And then what affected them on 380 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,400 the inside now is affecting them on the outside. 381 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,240 And not only them, but it's affecting their children and 382 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,240 their children's children. Side effects are. 383 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,520 Very real. When we have to have it more 384 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,640 than the things of God, we look at adultery and fornication. 385 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,560 Let's go to 1st Corinthians chapter 6. 386 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,920 Not a lot of people. Like to lead this to live this 387 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,200 today and read it. Why? 388 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,280 Because we've come really bad at getting. 389 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:58,000 It in the church First Corinthians 6 and verse 9 I 390 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,440 want. You to go. 391 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,240 Home Read the rest of this it says do you not? 392 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,600 Know that the. Unrighteous. 393 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,400 You know there's. A lot of people don't know this. 394 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,600 I hear a lot of. Preachers that don't know this. 395 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,880 If they do, they ain't preaching. 396 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,640 It. Do you not know that the 397 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,280 unrighteous. Will not inherit the Kingdom of 398 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,920 God. Is that not powerful? 399 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,400 So what does? That tell me. 400 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,440 I got to be righteous. Do not be deceived, neither 401 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,680 fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals. 402 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:37,640 Does the Bible really say that? Nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor 403 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,280 covenants, nor drunkards. Nor revilers nor extortioners 404 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,320 will inherit the Kingdom of God. And I like what he does right 405 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,040 here. But such you were, some of you. 406 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,240 But you were washed. But you were sanctified. 407 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840 But you were. Justified in the name of the. 408 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,080 Lord Jesus Christ, so you got a hold of Jesus. 409 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480 And it was a side effect. Hey man, his side. 410 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,880 Effects are never bad, but see, we were washed in the blood. 411 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,960 We've all, we've all been guilty of those. 412 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,160 Things, but that's not us anymore, right? 413 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,200 Yet so. Many never really think. 414 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,160 About the side effect, until they hit, until they hit. 415 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,000 I have a good illustration of a boat. 416 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,960 Anybody ever been fishing with a boat in the water and you're out 417 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,120 in the middle of the lake and you can't see the seashore and 418 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,400 you anchor down, the fish are biting and you're going to fish 419 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,080 right there? And I was doing that one day and 420 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,880 not paying any attention. But the rope and the anchor that 421 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,000 I had stuck down in the water had somehow come loose. 422 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,240 And I looked up and I didn't begin to recognize anything that 423 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,240 I saw. I had drifted so about a mile 424 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:49,040 and didn't even know it. See, the enemy's good at that 425 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,760 when you begin to get. Away from God. 426 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,240 It's not just a fast, it's a slow. 427 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,440 It's a little bitty slow drift that you don't even recognize. 428 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,720 Many times, don't even recognize it, don't even recognize it. 429 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,480 And we're farther. And we're farther. 430 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,440 It's a slow drift, Hebrews. 10 and 23 talks about talks about 431 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,520 this Hebrews 10. Go home and read the rest of 432 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,480 that too. It's really good, especially 433 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,760 over 26. It'll change your life. 434 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:32,760 But in Hebrews 10 and 23. It says let us hold fast the 435 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,560 confession of our hope without wavering. 436 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,720 For he who promises say that with me is faithful. 437 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,400 So what I got to do I to get the side effects of Christ. 438 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,480 I got to hold fast to the confession that I'm born again 439 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,680 to the hope that I have an eternal home in heaven without 440 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:58,160 wavering because He promised and He's faithful and let us 441 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,640 consider one another in order to stir up the love and the good 442 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,040 works. Not forsaking. 443 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,040 You know that people say, well, the Bible says you don't say you 444 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,800 got to go to church. Sure it does right here. 445 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,840 It says not forsaking the assembling of yourselves 446 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,920 together, together. You know, every time in my life 447 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,800 I've found when I didn't want to go to church, there was 448 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,880 something bad wrong within me. It wasn't the church, it was me. 449 00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:27,080 But I found when I was in tune with God and when I was doing 450 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,960 what I was supposed to do, there's something in me. 451 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,680 Want to run to the church? Hey, man. 452 00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,200 To. Stir up the love to stir up the 453 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,080 good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves 454 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,560 together, as in the matter of some, but exhorting one another. 455 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,040 And he even said this and. So much more as we. 456 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,680 See the day approaching. I see the day. 457 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,600 Approaching. You having trouble? 458 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,400 Doing these things, go home and read Hebrews 10/26. 459 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,840 I can quote it. You need to be. 460 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,280 Able to quote it too, because it's very. 461 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,160 Powerful. But side effects are. 462 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,520 Real. It's a secondary undesirable 463 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,440 effect. You can't live there as a child. 464 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,800 Of God get. Up in 26, get up and get out. 465 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,040 Yet people for years. Live in a secondary state. 466 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,040 It will kill you, it will cause you. 467 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,800 It will cause so many things to happen in your life. 468 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,400 Just keep going for God. Why not? 469 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,560 Have God's side effects. There's some great side effects 470 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:29,040 of the cross. And they never fade away. 471 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,320 Galatians 522 and 23. It says but the fruit of the 472 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:37,360 Spirit is Lovejoy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, 473 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,840 goodness, faithfulness, self-control. 474 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,280 Just think, if we had self-control it'd take us around 475 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,040 so many obstacles in our life if we could control self against 476 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,160 such thing. There is no law. 477 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,160 And the side effects of these things will please. 478 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,080 Your heavenly Father, that's the cool thing. 479 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,720 When God's pleased. With you, it opens up some great 480 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,520 doors for you and ultimately it will land you in heaven. 481 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,320 Verse 20. Four, it says, those who are 482 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,000 Christ. Have crucified the flesh with 483 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,040 its passions and it desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us 484 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,080 also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceit, 485 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:23,560 provoking one another. See Jacob. 486 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,400 When I think of. Him. 487 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,360 What did he do? He had a side effect. 488 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,560 Jacob was a slindler, a liar at times, but yet God said, I'm 489 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,000 going to call something. I'm going to. 490 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,800 I'm going to change emotion, Jacob, I'm fixing to roll 491 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,760 something your way. You think you can wrestle with 492 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,440 me? You may wrestle, but you're 493 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,920 going to walk away a little different. 494 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,560 You might have a limp, but every time. 495 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,800 You take that step. You'll remember the night you 496 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,160 wrestled. And you'll remember. 497 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,760 That I brought you through, and not only did I bring you through 498 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,600 limping, but I brought you through with a new life and a 499 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,320 new attitude. I think of the Apostle Paul, 500 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,120 that that was blinded on the road. 501 00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:58,000 What was that? That was a side effect of. 502 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000 God Almighty coming down. And changing his life and 503 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,160 rearranging his. World and he's still. 504 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,240 Writing and still his writings are still leading people and 505 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,960 guiding us today. I think of the cross that had 506 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,040 the greatest side effect, deliverance. 507 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:17,400 Eternal hope and eternal. Home, a hope and a future. 508 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,880 I challenge you in 2026. Get out from under the side 509 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,480 effects of the world. Get out from under the side 510 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,600 effects of things that are holding you and binding you and 511 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,960 pulling you down. And and just. 512 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,880 Just get out from under it because see, we're not we're not 513 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,360 created to live in a secondary place. 514 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,160 Are your side of this, I ask you this in closing today. 515 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,760 Are your side effects pleasing to the Lord? 516 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,160 We worry about pleasing so many people. 517 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,440 I heard no man say I ain't got to please nobody but God. 518 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,440 My wife and the older I get is true. 519 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,680 Well, they say if Mama ain't happy, that's the greatest thing 520 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,280 is a relationship to teach you self-control because you open 521 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,360 that mouth that you want to open and say that thing you really 522 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:16,680 want to say. Unless you plan on leaving each 523 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,800 other, you got to hang out with each other. 524 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,760 I used to never get to see my wife. 525 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,320 Now it's like, man, we've been around here a few days. 526 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,480 She likes to get away from me more. 527 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,040 I do her thing. But you open that mouth, there's 528 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,360 some side effects. Y'all come on, preach with me. 529 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,760 You going? To do it this week, you going to 530 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,560 want to say how many can't say it side effects. 531 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,480 But if you don't say it, you ain't got to live under it, 532 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,760 right? But I want you, I want to ask 533 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:58,240 you, are your side effects of this life pleasing to your 534 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,480 heavenly Father? I heard a story as I close of 535 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,080 the violinist. He he came to this big place to 536 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,960 play and they had invited lots of people and the violin is very 537 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,360 hard to play. And they said he played this 538 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,360 concert. And he said there was a standing 539 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,880 as you stand your feet this morning. 540 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,880 He said there was a standing ovation. 541 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,840 Everybody was clapping, everybody, everybody was on 542 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,040 their feet. And the violinist sat down over 543 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,560 here in a chair and he just sat there kind of with his head down 544 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,440 like this. And he was sitting there and the 545 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,480 guy that was producing the deal, the production manager, he walks 546 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,000 over and he says, son, he said, what's wrong? 547 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,960 He said, why aren't you? Why aren't you taking this in, 548 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,520 man? Nobody's ever came to this 549 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,800 Symphony hall and got a standing ovation. 550 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,480 They're standing there clapping. And he said, yeah, but that one 551 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:55,200 man over there sitting down, he said, that's all you see is that 552 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,000 one man is the sitting down there and you can't jump and you 553 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,880 can't clap. He said, no, I can't because 554 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,480 he's my teacher. What would happen if we was like 555 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,400 that with God?

Matter who's jumping, it doesn't 559 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,520 matter who's praying. If you're all tore up from the 560 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,400 side effects of this life, it doesn't matter. 561 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,400 It doesn't matter. Don't that bring it home? 562 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:25,920 I said. It doesn't matter if your 563 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:33,160 Heavenly Father's not pleased, not pleased, he said. 564 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,960 Well, pastor, that's a high place to aim. 565 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,960 I'm not in this thing for half heartedness. 566 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,840 I'm not in this thing just to slip into heaven, Amen. 567 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,000 I've done a lot of work on this earth. 568 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,960 I want to rule and reign with my Heavenly Father in heaven. 569 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,280 Amen.
