Everybody said Remembrance that 68 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:46,480 thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee, by the putting 69 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:54,200 on of my hands. For God hath not given us the 70 00:04:54,200 --> 00:05:00,080 spirit of fear, but of power. Everybody said power and of 71 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,960 love. Everybody said love and of a 72 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,920 sound mind. Everybody said a sound mind. 73 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:10,840 We need that today.

God, I've asked you, Lord, to 77 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,240 bless us this morning in this service. 78 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,800 Bring our minds together for this word. 79 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,000 Lord, help me God, to minister the way you want me to minister. 80 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,120 That some life would be touched and changed this morning. 81 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,280 God, maybe, but taking our little journey down the road of 82 00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:48,680 remembrance in Jesus name, Amen. Amen. 83 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,040 You can be seated in Jesus name. Thank you. 84 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,400 Lord, I want to minister on this subject. 85 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:07,640 The legacy of the code. The legacy of the code. 86 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,200 Amen. In our scripture text today, 87 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,520 Paul is admonishing Timothy from the prison. 88 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,360 He is in prison, but his, his son Timothy, as he would call 89 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,720 him, he is admonishing to carry on the work because Paul knows 90 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,400 that his days probably are finished as far as going out and 91 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,880 ministering. So he's calling upon his son 92 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:45,680 Timothy to carry on this work. So he's bringing to remembrance 93 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,200 some things in Timothy's life that maybe, maybe kind of had 94 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,840 failed by the wayside through the years. 95 00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:58,080 You know, often times we failed to see where our legacy come 96 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,280 from, where are where, where where we come from. 97 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:05,640 We, we, we tend to forget that there was some things that 98 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,520 happened and that's the reason we're where we're at. 99 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:20,880 So here Paul was telling Timothy of his of his life, where it was 100 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,880 and how he came to where he is. I want to remind you yet this 101 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,440 morning, I don't want to get off the codes. 102 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,920 I want you to remember it because it's not through yet, 103 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,520 even after this. But I want to remind you that 104 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:41,560 codes refer to a set of laws, rules and principles that govern 105 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,600 behavior and a guide a person's actions. 106 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:52,400 It has everything to do with your life codes does and and 107 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,640 since I'm not done with according to the code, but yet 108 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,160 felt God turn my mind a little bit different direction this 109 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,800 week when I began to think about of it being grandparents Day. 110 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,440 He turned my mind a little bit toward this that maybe because 111 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,480 of the day that is you know, grandparents Day. 112 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,280 Maybe that's what he done it for. 113 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,680 But mostly because I seen that I that that I thought God could 114 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,920 speak to us in a story which fits the occasion well. 115 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,320 And this occasion does fit it very well. 116 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,120 Grandparents Day. So would you go with me on this 117 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,720 journey to see if God doesn't speak to you this morning about 118 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,799 the code that you have been following and maybe why you're 119 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:46,680 following that code, why you're where you're at, why you are the 120 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:48,960 person that you are? Amen. 121 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,280 I'll allow me this morning, Hallelujah to take you down this 122 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,040 road and then let me take you back three generations this 123 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,240 morning because let's let's let's deal with let's deal with 124 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,000 my title. Maybe first the word legacy. 125 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,560 It is something left by will or a bequest. 126 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,280 Everybody said a bequest. I like that word. 127 00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:24,480 It's a it's a bequest. It's it's anything as that as a 128 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,280 characteristic derived from an ancestor. 129 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,240 It's something that's derived from an ancestor or it's 130 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,320 something can't. Can I say I just plain oh, it's 131 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,600 a hand me down. It's it's a bequest. 132 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,240 It's something that you've got because of somebody else. 133 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,960 It's been passed down to you. God, thank you for some things 134 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,040 that's been passed down to me in my life. 135 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,160 Thankful for the church this morning of the things that's 136 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,800 been passed down to us. Thank you Jesus, for all of our 137 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,960 forefathers and mothers that have walked this road and they 138 00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:04,440 have proven that it's true and it's steadfast and it will take 139 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,560 you through. It's it's it maybe not an easy 140 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:13,960 Rd., but it's a easy Rd. if you live it hard or it's a hard Rd. 141 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,440 if you try to live it easy. Amen. 142 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:19,560 Thank you Jesus, Hallelujah then. 143 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,480 So I'm glad for the hand me downs. 144 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,880 And then our scripture text this morning speaks of the 145 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,360 remembrance of the unfeigned faith. 146 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,440 Unfeigned faith. Unfeigned simply means genuine. 147 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,760 It's not a show if you please, but it's real. 148 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,000 It's something you could see. It's something you could grab a 149 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,520 hold of. Because when faith shows itself, 150 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:56,520 you have no problem recognizing it. 151 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,720 Hallelujah. Oh Lord, let me show you why 152 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,960 your genealogy is important. Yet we hate it in the Bible, 153 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,240 right? I've heard nobody that likes to 154 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:19,200 read about genealogies. Everybody's skip over this. 155 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:26,000 Let's So in our scripture text, Paul is given Timothy a charge 156 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,400 Amen from prison to carry on the work which Paul had started and 157 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,080 reminded him of where he had come from. 158 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:40,400 Paul takes him back 3 generations and I like this and 159 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,440 I didn't even realize how much and how fitting it was till I 160 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,440 began to study. But this unfeigned faith that is 161 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:56,360 in Timothy, which dwelt first in thy grandmother, he says Lois 162 00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:01,200 thank God for Lois and thy mother Eunice. 163 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,800 And I am persuaded that envy also. 164 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,120 Oh, I love it. You know, whenever Paul begins 165 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,080 to speak to Timothy, he starts building him up from where he 166 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,480 came from. You know, it was Lois before 167 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,880 your mother and and your mother, you know, here she is. 168 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,360 And she's brought you along and she's brought you, Timothy, to 169 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,760 where you are now. And the same faith that was in 170 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,640 your grandma and in your mother and now it's in you. 171 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,880 He maybe Paul didn't even maybe maybe Timothy didn't even 172 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,680 recognize what he had left from grandma and mother. 173 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:47,000 But Paul lets him know that I see the same faith that was in 174 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,920 Lois and in your list. I see it in you, boy, I don't 175 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,720 know about you, but that make me feel good. 176 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,680 I start feeling a little bit of goose pimples on my goose 177 00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:58,640 pimples saying, Oh my Lord, something that they had, they 178 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,360 passed to me. And now I can feel that. 179 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,760 That's good feeling. Nothing wrong with feeling that. 180 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,800 Hallelujah. It's unfeigned, it's genuine. 181 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400 It can you, you can't mistake in this. 182 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:14,400 It's real stuff. Hallelujah. 183 00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:18,280 Thank you, Jesus. Unfeigned love. 184 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,440 Hallelujah, unfeigned love. Let me let me remind you that 185 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,280 unfeigned love is real. Real love is according to the 186 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,880 code, it's in the Bible, it's all the way through it. 187 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,200 You can't, you can't just think about it. 188 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,000 You can't just hope it, but it's got to be real. 189 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,920 It's faith is something that you live. 190 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,920 It's not what you think about or hey, faith is real. 191 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,640 And if you don't have real faith, you'll falter in your 192 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,520 walk with God because you cannot do it without faith. 193 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,520 Hallelujah. You got to believe something. 194 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,280 You got to believe this word when you pick it up and read it, 195 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,360 it's got to become real to you before it's ever going to do 196 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,520 anything for you. Hallelujah. 197 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:15,800 So James 226 says, For as the body without the spirit is dead, 198 00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:21,240 so faith without works is dead also. 199 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,720 So we got to have faith with works, you know? 200 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,240 Yeah. Everybody wants to use the 201 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,840 script. Faith without works is dead. 202 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,800 That's a good thing. I'm going to tell you something. 203 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,880 It takes both of them. You got to believe it. 204 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,360 And if you believe it enough, you'll do something about it. 205 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,640 I can tell you all day long. Well, I'm I can go out there and 206 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,000 Sister Mcgee's car, start, say hey, it'll start. 207 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,480 So how you know that? I just know it. 208 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,880 Well, show me. You know, it'd be a terrible 209 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,240 thing if I walked out there and it didn't then, wouldn't it? 210 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,880 He said, Oh my, your faith was lost. 211 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,520 No, my faith isn't lost. Come on. 212 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,680 Hallelujah. Faith is not lost. 213 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,240 But I'm telling you, faith is real and it's Ginuwine, and you 214 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,120 don't want to take it lightly when you've got a piece of it 215 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,920 because it's like a grain of mustard seed. 216 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,440 It's small, but I'm going to tell you it can that that grain 217 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,200 of mustard seed. If you remember the mustard seed 218 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,560 growed into a great tree and and birds settled in it just from a 219 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,280 little bitty seed. You know what I've always 220 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,200 thought and I and, and I've and I've told my son this because 221 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,560 when he had, he had text me and, and they got there, he said, 222 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,120 Dad, you're going to have to pray said that this, this is 223 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,320 not, you know, hey, we're used to having 30 and 40 people in 224 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,040 this and this, this, this prison here is only loud as 20 people. 225 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,720 And he said, you know, we've got 3 real quick that's gone just 226 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,200 cause brother McDonald had to have surgery. 227 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,120 So that takes out three. He said then to top it all off, 228 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,000 brother, brother Cardin had two people that was supposed to be 229 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,080 here and because of tornado warning and stuff going on down 230 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,360 there, planes wouldn't get off the ground so they missed their 231 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,240 flight. So he said, dad, we're down to 232 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,360 two. I'm running a little bit of 233 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,200 fever. You know, it's prison week. 234 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,360 You know, he always says that and it says it for a reason 235 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,360 because there's always something going to try to interfere with 236 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,080 you going in and preaching to However, hundreds of ladies and, 237 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,040 and God might do something. You know, he, he, they can 238 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,560 repent. Some of them get filled with the 239 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,520 Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus name. 240 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,320 Hey, hey, when the devil sees that, hey, he don't like it. 241 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,920 So he's going to try to do something. 242 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,440 So he's working on both ends. He's working on me too. 243 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,920 He thought I'm going to keep him preaching you, Odell, you just 244 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,520 lost because I'm going to do it in Jesus name. 245 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,360 So I've been moving all week, you know, don't do it. 246 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,760 I'd come over and I'd make a few laps around the church and I'd 247 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,360 pray. I'd go in my office and I'd 248 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,560 study and you know, if I ate come, I'd come back out and I'd 249 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,000 start running again a little bit. 250 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,200 God, you know, because I aim to do it in the name of Jesus. 251 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:22,040 OK, let's get the meat of this. A few years. 252 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,720 This, this is I'm going to take you back now, a few years back 253 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:33,040 because of my daughter Rhonda, who loves genealogy. 254 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:44,920 I know all eyes on Rhonda. She loves ancestry and of all 255 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:50,080 things graveyards. She likes to visit graveyards. 256 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:58,080 That's my daughter. I don't know which side of the 257 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,920 family she got that from. I guess I've ministered at a few 258 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,400 funerals. Maybe that's what it is. 259 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,840 I don't know. Yes, that's right. 260 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:12,720 She likes to visit graveyards and and I found out I love that 261 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:26,260 about her because because of that interest, I got to meet my 262 00:18:26,260 --> 00:18:33,340 Grandpa McGee. He died before I was born. 263 00:18:36,060 --> 00:18:45,550 I knew nothing about him. Nothing at all had a picture of 264 00:18:45,550 --> 00:18:50,320 him. I think there's a picture up 265 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:57,520 there. I think there is a picture of 266 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:03,640 him that I run onto. So my little daughter Rhonda, 267 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,640 that likes all that kind of stuff, begin to search things. 268 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,320 Because of that interest I got to meet my Grandpa McGee, whom 269 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,560 I'd never met. And I can almost hear you now. 270 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,920 How in the world did you do that? 271 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,400 Well, it was through the death and not the life. 272 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,000 If I got a picture up there, is it? 273 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,160 Oh, OK, looking forward back there. 274 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,320 OK, thank you. That's my grandpa, that dark 275 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,400 headed guy, that's my grandma sat beside him and that dude 276 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,080 back here with his elbow up, that's my daddy. 277 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,760 Then there's my Uncle Bill and Uncle Jim sat on mammals lap. 278 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,240 My grandma was quite a person. She walked on crutches all of 279 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,640 her life. She had one leg that was it was 280 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,240 a little short leg and had a little foot on it. 281 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,640 She dealt with that her whole life. 282 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,920 But if you set her down on the floor she'd beat you up. 283 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:20,680 She died at a 91 years old. It was quite a lady, but my, my, 284 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,280 my Papaw died at 61 years old from Bright's disease. 285 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,520 That's, that's a kidney disease. If you want to look it all up. 286 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,200 It's a lot involved in it. He had that for about a year and 287 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,640 died. So Sister Rhonda found out, 288 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:46,960 found a obituary which I'd never seen, that had information on it 289 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:52,320 that I never knew, and it really changed my life. 290 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,160 My grandpa Robert McGee was an active member at the First 291 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,000 Pentecostal Church in Bloomington, IN. 292 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:08,480 I thought I was just a second generation Pentecost. 293 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,760 The singers of that Pentecostal church sung at my grandpa's 294 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,640 funeral, and Reverend Ray Faulkner, the preacher of that 295 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,080 Pentecostal church, preached his funeral. 296 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,480 So I'm a third generation Pentecostal. 297 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:38,610 I'm talking about grandpa. Now grandparents, we're blessed. 298 00:21:42,010 --> 00:21:51,000 My mamaw as I knew her years later, well not too many years 299 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,120 later because she got married again. 300 00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:58,680 I had a step papaw and he was great, but I don't believe my 301 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:09,400 Mama was a Pentecostal. He chewed the good and spit the 302 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:18,240 juice and ever now and then would say a word or two that I 303 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,520 didn't really agree with until daddy get ahold of her and say 304 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,280 not around here mom, not around here mom. 305 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,080 So I met my Papaw because of Rhonda likes to visit 306 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,640 graveyards. I want to tell you something. 307 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,120 It's important because Timothy's grandma Lois passed faith down 308 00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:46,480 to Timothy's mother Eunice. That's important. 309 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,320 It's important that you know who you who you came from. 310 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:58,640 So I found out that my Pentecostal part not just come 311 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,520 from my daddy, but it came from his daddy because my daddy was 312 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,080 backslid. I remember him as just a kid, 313 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,240 that he was a backslidden Pentecostal. 314 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,800 Mama never knew nothing about church. 315 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,040 She knew she knew nothing about religion. 316 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,440 She was not raised even near religion. 317 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,440 She couldn't read or write because Mama had a very young 318 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,560 age because of my grandma on that side dying before I knew 319 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,840 her, that Mama took. She was the oldest. 320 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:40,560 She was the oldest daughter and she took and raised kids all of 321 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,200 her life. So she didn't need to get to go 322 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,440 to, she didn't get to go to school. 323 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,760 She was in the orphanage even. She had a hard life. 324 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,440 She had a terrible life. But there's one thing, if I 325 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,760 could ever say anything, it would be that Mama was a good 326 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,920 person. Hallelujah. 327 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,920 See, Understand this because Timothy's grandma Lois passed 328 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,480 down this faith to Eunice, and she was a Jewish lady. 329 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,240 But I want you to ring. I want. 330 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,720 If you'll grab a hold of anything, I want you to grab a 331 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,040 hold of this. His daddy was not Jewish. 332 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,160 He was a Greek. A Pagan if you please. 333 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,120 So I'm going to tell you it makes a difference which side of 334 00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:34,280 the family you get it from or if you get it from both or one 335 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,920 side. And if you got the right thing, 336 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,160 then thank God for it. Come on. 337 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,120 If you got a hold of the right code down through your life, 338 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,400 then thank God for the code. Hallelujah. 339 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,840 Thank you, Jesus. And I, I want to say this, that 340 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:03,680 even though Timothy's dad was a Pagan, Timothy come up under his 341 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,960 mama's wing and under grandma's wing. 342 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,720 I don't know what all daddy had to do with it, but I'm going to 343 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,920 tell you one thing. He stuck to the code, He stuck 344 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,560 to mammal, he stuck to Eunice, his Mama, and he followed them. 345 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,960 He followed the right way. Hallelujah. 346 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,640 Timothy stuck to the code, and he received the unfeigned the 347 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,600 genuine faith from his mother Eunice. 348 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,960 Who Who you follow makes the difference. 349 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,640 I said who you follow makes all the difference in the world. 350 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:51,520 First Corinthians chapter #7 and verse 14. 351 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:58,160 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the 352 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,480 unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband. 353 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,800 Else were your children unclean? But now are they holy? 354 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,640 I don't care if just one of you are serving God, you can make 355 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:18,320 your children whole. Somehow we got to grab this. 356 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,880 You think, well, I got an unsaved husband. 357 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,560 I got an unsaved wife.

We could go down to grandpa's 375 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,840 and Mama's and grandma's and we could do all of that because 376 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,120 I've known them for a lot of years before this guy's ever 377 00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:51,440 even thought about, even before Daddy was thought about. 378 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,680 Thank you, Jesus. But you know what? 379 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,600 The Wrights grabbed a hold of the right thing. 380 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:03,120 And because of that, brother Ethan Wright is sitting in our 381 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:06,600 meal and he was rotten as a child. 382 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,480 He won't. He won't deny that at all. 383 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:16,080 You didn't even want to look at him cross eyed. 384 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:29,520 I got Amen there shoo, but look at him today. 385 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,160 It didn't wonderful what God can do. 386 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,160 He took a bunch of us nothings and he made something out of us. 387 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,560 Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. Now let me relate. 388 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,000 Let me relate. I'll go back now to my side. 389 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,880 I'm switching back and forth, but I want you to get this. 390 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:59,480 My mom married a backslidden Pentecostal man and had no 391 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:07,040 knowledge of church or God. Yet I never, ever heard a bad 392 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,840 word ever come out of Mama's mouth. 393 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:20,040 That's saying a lot, but I can't say that about my daddy. 394 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,160 When he backslid, he really backslid, man. 395 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,400 He hit the bars and played in the honky tonks. 396 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:41,360 And yeah, I'm going to tell you now. 397 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:48,000 The only knowledge my mother had was what Daddy had told her or 398 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:54,160 read to her about. She couldn't read, she couldn't 399 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:59,920 write. But I began to think Mama had a 400 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:04,560 whole lot of knowledge because she knew more Bible and couldn't 401 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,720 even read a lot of people that reads it. 402 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,600 She could sit down and start quoting scriptures to somebody. 403 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:22,000 Yet it was through my mother that this thing was passed down 404 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,720 to me. Think about it. 405 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,960 I got a backslidden daddy. I got a mother that's never ever 406 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,720 known God. But when I grow, when I grew 407 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:38,960 sick at three years old, when I had rheumatic heart and scarlet 408 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,440 fever together and my eyes had rolled back in my head and my 409 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,040 fever was burning up and they picked me up and on the bed and 410 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,560 they rushed me to Wabash General Hospital. 411 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,520 I remember that ambulance ride. I still I saw only thing. 412 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,040 I really remember of that. I remember that because even 413 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,280 though I was burning up with fever and sick, that was 414 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,080 something buddy. I got to ride in the Hearst. 415 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,080 I know I'll get it right in one more time probably. 416 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:12,720 But you know, I was alive and wrote in it, so, you know, that 417 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,360 was cool. Even though I was hot, you know, 418 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,080 it was, it was something. So the only knowledge that Mama 419 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:27,760 had was through Daddy. So Mama, evidently I, I began to 420 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,960 think this through yesterday in my office and I, I began to 421 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:36,080 think very hard at about it that Mama must have listened very, 422 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,520 very well. She wasn't a Eve evidently, 423 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,640 because Adam had to tell Eve about and she still sin. 424 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:51,840 But but Mama, whenever her baby boy got sick, it seemed like the 425 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,160 Mama started searching for something to cure a healing if 426 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:02,200 you please, or something. So she began to search out 427 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:07,560 somebody, somebody that had some power that could pray for her 428 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:12,000 son. So she searched out somebody and 429 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:17,040 and she brought them to the hospital to pray for me and they 430 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,760 prayed for me. And Mama had made a she had, she 431 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,800 was she, she was in it enough. She had a hold of the right code 432 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,120 enough. Even though she didn't know 433 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,680 nothing about it. She had a hold of the right code 434 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,760 enough that she said, Jesus, I want to tell you something. 435 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,880 I'll whatever it takes. I'll if, if, if you heal my son, 436 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,040 I'll serve you the rest of my life. 437 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:46,880 Mama stood good at that promise. She must have listened to Daddy 438 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,240 very well. See, there was something that 439 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,480 must have struck her heart in the code that Daddy was 440 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,560 presenting to her as he read the book and told her the stories. 441 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,160 She grabbed a hold of some of them and she wasn't going to 442 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:07,520 turn loose. So the Long story short that 443 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:15,840 Mama's baby boy got healed. He wasn't. 444 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,480 He wasn't going to be able to work like other men who is not 445 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,920 going to be able to play like other kids because of his 446 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,560 condition. But I remember time after time 447 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,440 Mama ever that you know, that always says when she when I was 448 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,960 going to school, she's scared to death. 449 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,760 You know, she's scared to send me school. 450 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,120 She's afraid something happened. But you know what? 451 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,080 I remember them taking me the doctor before school began. 452 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,880 You know what? The answer was always the same. 453 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,640 There's no sign. No sign. 454 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,840 Everything's clear. Everything's all right. 455 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:06,000 And I grew up in mechanic for 33 years and don't get no harder 456 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,679 than that. Sorry, it don't. 457 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,840 Automobiles, tractors, diesels, construction equipment. 458 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,080 I've done it all out in the fields. 459 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,960 I was the only person that didn't send me help. 460 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,520 It was radio dispatched and I went from one job to the other 461 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,480 lifting heads off of diesel's by myself out in the field. 462 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,280 That was before they had the gin poles and all that on trucks. 463 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,520 You had to do it manually. Well, what I'm trying to tell 464 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:41,960 you is because of Mama grabbing a hold of the right code that 465 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:53,679 this boy is standing before you today who he must have told her 466 00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:57,160 good stories. I, I almost would like to been 467 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,960 there to tell you hear him tell the stories. 468 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,800 Now I remember later years him reading a Bible to because of 469 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,080 because of Mama that daddy came back in because the first church 470 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,320 is where that happened. Y'all. 471 00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,600 That was my church when I was a little kid. 472 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,400 I was I was in the youth there. I was, you know, we had youth 473 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,120 service on Sunday night before church, you know, and we do 474 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,760 little games, you know, like y'all do, you know, well, get 475 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,960 out the Bible. Who could get the verse of the 476 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,680 quickest or answer, answer questions? 477 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,720 Pastor Pastor Corbett would answer questions and see who had 478 00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:35,120 the answer. And was all of that was it was 479 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,720 it was that Mama? I don't know. 480 00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:40,640 I can't tell you how long Mama was in church before Daddy 481 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,960 showed up, but I can tell you one thing. 482 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:49,080 I remember a revival in Kingsburg Pentecostal Church in 483 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,560 that first little church and it was before there was any padded 484 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,080 pews, Brother Mike, it was when they were old slatted pews. 485 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,640 That's what it was. It was, it was, it was the old, 486 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,880 the old church, the old first church. 487 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,600 Come on, Brother Mike, come to life here. 488 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,320 Brother Mike, that first, first church, you know, it had the 489 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,400 slatted pews. It didn't, you know, remember 490 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,080 they were just painted.

It was that old Apostolic 494 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,040 Church. It that we didn't have no air 495 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,760 conditioned. We had a potbelly stove back 496 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,120 here to keep warm by put throw some wood and coal in it and, 497 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,680 and warm it up. Somebody come and warm it up 498 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,040 before church, you know, and and we had the best of bathrooms. 499 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,640 They they was out back, you know, we we had a woman's in a 500 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,440 man's and we even had buddy seat. 501 00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:51,540 Remember that, brother Tara?

Hallelujah. 506 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,400 I remember revival Brother Ted Kendall was preaching and he he 507 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,840 was from French Lick IN and he'd drive down there and, and, and 508 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:31,680 had preach revival every night.

But Sister Jewel was a crier 600 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,400 constantly. When she got blessed, it was it 601 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:18,240 was I was holding a hanky. I remind you of Vestal Goodman 602 00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:26,640 there. Oh, Hallelujah, telling you 603 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:35,000 there are so many that have went down this road and because of 604 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,880 who they were causes us to be who we are. 605 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,480 Because a lot of times I remember you ever noticed that 606 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,440 when you go to service and, and, and there's such a great time 607 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,200 and, and, and, and you, maybe you get a hold of that crying 608 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,960 spirit and you get crying and can't stop and your eyes are 609 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,000 soaked all the way through service and, and, and have you 610 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,280 ever, have you ever, I don't know, maybe I'm on one field 611 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,960 site.

Guess what? 744 00:54:57,240 --> 00:54:59,320 She never did have asthma anymore. 745 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:08,040 God healed her. Come on, God is faithful if 746 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,560 we'll be faithful and real to him. 747 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,840 Oh, Jesus, Sister Craig, I know you're out there. 748 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,800 This morning.

God can do things. 764 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,280 Even though we're in this house and we're speaking out over the 765 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,880 Airways on the other end, God can make a connection. 766 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:31,240 Thank you, Jesus, Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. 767 00:56:32,240 --> 00:56:40,440 Sister Jessup, bless your heart.

I'm telling you what, you put 774 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:15,200 your hand on her and it was just like she started shouting to go 775 00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,080 back home. Well, one, because our prayers. 776 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:26,360 It's because of unfeigned faith. Oh, Lord. 777 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,520 Then their sister Margaret.

And she'd start shouting. 826 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,720 Guess what? Sister Rhonda got a hold of 827 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,000 that.

You know, for his way. 840 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:21,160 He believes also I can do better than that. 841 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:23,960 I take you back to the day of Pentecost. 842 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,160 Really.
