1 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:08,640 Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. 2 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,800 Amen. I'm glad he cares. 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,960 Amen. Praise the Lord. 4 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,640 Amen. I stand before you tonight. 5 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,040 I don't know. I don't. 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,720 I'm not up here very much anymore. 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,800 So Amen. You all have to help me tonight. 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:33,320 Praise the Lord, but I feel like I've got a word tonight that God 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,160 would speak to us about. Amen. 10 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,120 Been some time that this has been on my mind. 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,160 I've been working on it. It's just been kind of bits and 12 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:48,400 pieces put together. But I feel like God wants to say 13 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,600 something to the church tonight. Hallelujah. 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:01:02,520 I'm going to turn to Saint Matthew chapter #7 and read some 15 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:08,200 verses of scripture there that are very familiar to us. 16 00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:16,440 Hallelujah, thank you Jesus. This sermon was on standby a few 17 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:22,320 times and I was asked to be on standby in case things changed. 18 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,920 And it wasn't, wasn't, didn't have to use it. 19 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,360 And so I I understand why because God wanted some more to 20 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:37,200 go with it. So let me read starting Chapter 21 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,760 7 and verse #24 of Matthew. Therefore, whosoever heareth 22 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,480 these sayings of mine, and do with them, I will liken him into 23 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,120 a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. 24 00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,800 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew 25 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:12,800 and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded 26 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,800 upon a rock. And everyone that heareth these 27 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,760 sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a 28 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,400 foolish man which built his house upon the sand. 29 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,600 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew 30 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:44,840 and beat up on that house, and it fell, and great was the fall 31 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,280 of it. Heavenly Father, I thank you for 32 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,680 your word. Your word is already anointed, 33 00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:57,440 but I need you tonight to speak through these lips of clay. 34 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,920 I realize my nothingness, Lord, as I stand before you, but 35 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,800 knowing God, that you can move through me, Lord, because the 36 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,440 Holy Ghost is in me and I can do all things through Christ which 37 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,120 strengtheneth me. So I claim your word for this 38 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,520 people tonight. I claim your anointing. 39 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,200 I need it, Lord. I claim that anointing for Lord, 40 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,880 that you would move throughout this congregation and you would 41 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,000 speak to this people of God, that you would awaken us where 42 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,680 we're at. Lord, I pray in Jesus name. 43 00:03:33,720 --> 00:04:00,120 In Jesus name you can be seated. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. 44 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,840 I'll tell you the title in a little bit, but I want to. 45 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,120 It's been a good while back. Well, you know, Andrew, the 46 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,680 Hurricane Andrew. While back, I read a newspaper 47 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,240 article. This news reporter was on 48 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,040 assignment in southern Florida and he was filming the 49 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,600 destruction of Hurricane Andrew. And then one scene amid the 50 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:38,480 devastation and the Derbus stood one house on its foundation. 51 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,440 When the owner was asked why his house was still standing and the 52 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:52,640 rest was gone, he said, I built this house myself and I built it 53 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,160 according to the Florida State building codes. 54 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,960 And when the code called for 2 by 6 roof trusses, I used 2 by 6 55 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,520 roof trusses. And I was told that when the 56 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:13,080 house was built according to Florida building codes, it would 57 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,840 and could withstand a hurricane. I did and it did. 58 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,120 I want to preach tonight about this. 59 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,360 I want to preach according to the code. 60 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,000 According to the code. We need to build our 61 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,760 relationships with God according to the code. 62 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,720 And can I say it will stand? And we will stand if we build it 63 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,920 according to the code. Amen, Will it not? 64 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,760 Thank you, Jesus, Hallelujah, Amen. 65 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:58,000 And when I preach about this tonight, I want you to kind of 66 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,200 take a look at your life and see if everything in your life is 67 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,880 built according to the codes. I want to be able to stay in the 68 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,280 test of times. And we're living in perilous 69 00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:12,200 times right now. If you look around you, 70 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,000 everything is messed up. The world's in a mess. 71 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,680 Nobody knows what to do. There's wars and rumors of wars. 72 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,320 Can I tell you Jerusalem is compassed about with armies? 73 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,560 And the Bible said when that happens, look up. 74 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,680 So I don't know about you, but I got my eyes not on this world, 75 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,440 but on heaven, because I don't believe we're far from that. 76 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,680 I don't believe it's very far till he's going to split the 77 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,040 eastern skies and come in the clouds of glory to receive His 78 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,280 church. Hallelujah. 79 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,400 And I, I began to think about this because I don't want to 80 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:55,160 fall in me to take me and others out because I didn't follow the 81 00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,760 code, Amen. We must do this thing according 82 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:06,480 to the code or it's going to fail and we will fail and others 83 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,640 will fail because of us because we are our brother's keeper, 84 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,720 Amen. Hallelujah. 85 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,520 We are responsible for others and I sometimes I don't think we 86 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,680 realize how much responsibility lies on us whenever we take a 87 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,600 look at those around us that's watching us. 88 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,200 Amen. In Romans 14 and I got a bunch 89 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,520 of scripture tonight, so just hang with me. 90 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:44,680 Let us not therefore judge one another anymore, but judge this 91 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:50,320 rather that no man, everybody said no man put a stumbling 92 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:56,520 block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 93 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,520 Now I'm going to tell you that's hard to do, but we got to be 94 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,920 careful what we're doing. The codes can refer to a set of 95 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:13,640 laws or rules that are governor behavior and such as codes or 96 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:19,000 code of conduct. It can also represent a system 97 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,520 of principles that guide a person's actions, like a 98 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:30,080 personal code of honor. It can refer to Morris code 99 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,559 where dots and dashes represent letters or phrases and text 100 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,360 messages. I remember as a as a, as a kid, 101 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,480 we live close to a young man that, that done this. 102 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,280 He was had ham radio and he, he would get in there and he taught 103 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,000 me a little Morris code and, and we got on there and talk to 104 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,480 people with that thing that did, did da da and all that junk. 105 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,640 I don't remember none of it now, but anyway, back then, a little, 106 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,680 a little bit of it. Amen. 107 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,120 So I'm going to tell you that we have got a job to do to stick to 108 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,640 the code. Hallelujah. 109 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,640 However, a Christian code of conduct is this generally it 110 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,200 emphasizes love for God and others. 111 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,160 Amen. Living according to biblical 112 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,720 principles and reflecting. Everybody said reflecting, 113 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:32,480 reflecting Christ's character in all actions and relationships. 114 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,480 In other words, it's as if we looked in the mirror that when 115 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,920 people looked at us, they seen God and they didn't see us. 116 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,840 And I pray to God that they don't see us, but let them see 117 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,200 the Christ that's in me. Let them see what I stand for. 118 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,680 Let them see what kind of a person I am only because of God, 119 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,880 Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus, Hallelujah, all 120 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,280 glory, Hallelujah. I want to reflect him, 121 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,920 Hallelujah. This includes both positive 122 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,720 actions like loving and serving others, and refraining from 123 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,120 actions that contradict Christian values. 124 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,720 I wonder how much God they see in us when we walk among this 125 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,320 world. Amen. 126 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,680 They need to see us and and see the not see us, but see the God 127 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,000 that we serve. They need to see who we 128 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,400 represent. Hallelujah. 129 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:34,080 So we got to be careful of our life and how we live Pacific 130 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:40,160 aspects from from in the in the honesty and purity and kindness 131 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:46,280 and and diligence with a focus on glorifying God in all aspects 132 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,960 of her life. You're saying a big thing when 133 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,480 you say I'm glorifying God and everything I do. 134 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,040 I haven't got there yet. I'm going to tell you, but I 135 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,520 want to get there. I want to glorify my God and 136 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,680 everything I want to do. And then everything that I do, I 137 00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,200 want to question him in which way I should go and where I 138 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,680 should go and how I should act and what I do Amen. 139 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,200 It's core principles, the foundation of Christian ethics 140 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,960 is based on the two of the greatest commandments, loving 141 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,360 God with all your heart, soul and mind, and loving your 142 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,240 neighbor as yourself. In other words, we'll think as 143 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,600 much of our neighbors we do us and say, well I do, brother 144 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,880 McGee, do you? I don't know. 145 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,920 Would you take care of your neighbor like you take care of 146 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,520 yourself? Hey, man, when you go and look 147 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,480 in the mirror of the morning before you go to work, I don't 148 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,400 care if you're going to work. You want to look good. 149 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,880 Yeah. You don't want to be look like a 150 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,880 tramp. You know, you, you you get it 151 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,640 all together, the hair fixed, you know, and let get every hair 152 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,880 in place and put on the cap, you know, guys, and you mess it all 153 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,880 up. But that's all right. 154 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,000 It was there. It was in place when you put the 155 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,240 cap on, Amen. So here we are. 156 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,240 We're in this place today, in this world, when the world is 157 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,680 taking a fine tooth comb to the Christian, Amen. 158 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:14,680 They judge everything we do. They judge how we act Come on. 159 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,160 The foundation of Christian ethics is based on those two 160 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,520 things. Loving God with all of our soul, 161 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:28,240 mind and spirit and loving our neighbor as our self and we need 162 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,920 to live by grace. Christians are called according 163 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,400 to God's grace avoiding and then I I could stop here a minute 164 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,200 avoiding even the very appearance of evil. 165 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,640 Even if it's something that don't look right or don't sound 166 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,480 right. We got to be careful of what we 167 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,040 do Amen. And not using freedom as an 168 00:12:51,040 --> 00:13:00,840 opportunity for sin behavior. Using our freedom to sin can't 169 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,520 do that. Then we got a glorifying God is 170 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,400 another core principle. Every action, every thought, 171 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,480 every feeling should be aimed at bringing glory to God. 172 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,080 I could go on and on and on, but you get the idea where we're 173 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,040 going. We need to build according to 174 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,680 the code, Amen. We got to live according to the 175 00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,640 code. And if you're thinking, well, 176 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,160 that we don't have a code, Oh yeah, we got a code to go by. 177 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,240 There is a code in here to go by, and we're to live by that 178 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,080 code. Amen. 179 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,960 Let's go. And then let's get into this in 180 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:46,560 Acts 17, verse 27 and 28. And they should seek the Lord, 181 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,600 if happily they might feel after him and find him, though he be 182 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:58,800 not far from every one of us, that they should seek the Lord. 183 00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:06,120 You know I can we need to change that little bit that we or that 184 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,080 we should seek the Lord, if happily we might find him that 185 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,600 we not they, but we we need to insert we in there might feel 186 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,320 after him and find him, though he be not far from any one of 187 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,160 us. For he and him, everybody said 188 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:30,520 in him we live and move and have our being as certain as our own 189 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,200 poets have said, for we are also his offspring. 190 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,320 I like something that Job said, he said. 191 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,960 Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, Glory. 192 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,920 Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come to 193 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,520 His seat. Glory. 194 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,680 Hallelujah. Then I could go on down and I 195 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,520 can catch a couple more verses. 4 through 6. 196 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:11,280 I would order my calls before Him, fill my mouth with 197 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,400 arguments. I would know the words which He 198 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,560 would answer me, and understand what He would say unto me. 199 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,600 Will He plead against me with His power? 200 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,680 No, but He would put strength in me. 201 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,200 Joe believes us. Job leaves us with a thing and 202 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,800 kind of something that we can kind of maybe venture in on a 203 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,000 little bit, he said. I wish I could find his seat. 204 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:51,280 I wish I could find God's seat, indicating that it was something 205 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,720 that you got to search for. I'm going to tell you, if you 206 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,480 want to find God, you're going to have to search after him. 207 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,760 Come on. If we search after him, we'll be 208 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:02,920 filled. Come on. 209 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,960 But we got to search and find his seat. 210 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,480 I don't know. You know, why else would he want 211 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,480 to find God's seat? And else he's figured on sitting 212 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,320 down with him a little bit. I don't know, maybe he's going 213 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,960 to sit down beside God and say, Hey, God, or and I don't know, 214 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,080 he might be going to kneel before him a little bit and say, 215 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,400 Hey, God, I need you today. I got some things, I got some 216 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,000 questions for you. You know, there's times we need 217 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,920 to deal down before God and ask Him some questions. 218 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,840 I don't know about you, but I got questions every day for God. 219 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,680 Hallelujah. And He's got answers for us, but 220 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,040 our ears have to be sensitive to listen. 221 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,680 I've always, I've always been taught when I pray and, and I 222 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,720 used to do it all he pastoring all those years. 223 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,800 I would pray and I may pray for hours, but you know, before I 224 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,680 got through with my prayer, I would have a quiet time before 225 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,600 God's OK God, I'll give you everything I want. 226 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,200 I've I've, I've prayed to you, I've worshipped you. 227 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,000 I've done all this. Now, Lord, I've got open ears. 228 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,560 Speak to me. Maybe that's what Job was 229 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,359 talking about. He wanted to find God so he 230 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,200 could get in his presence and hear him. 231 00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:17,800 You know, sometime we need quiet time with God, Amen. 232 00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:21,599 Where everything is quiet and God can speak in our ear because 233 00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,000 he don't always, he don't holler at us. 234 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:31,080 He, he talks in a still, small voice sometime, man. 235 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,440 Yeah. Elijah was in The Cave and it 236 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,400 wasn't in the earthquake. And wasn't in the fire. 237 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,880 It was nothing like that. But there was a still small 238 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,600 voice. There was the earthquake and 239 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,720 it's shattered, made all kinds of noise. 240 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,080 It scared him to death. Because if you'll find in that 241 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,440 scripture, he was standing, he had come out to the outside. 242 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,440 But when all that stuff that he went back in The Cave. 243 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,920 But when that still small voice, he wrapped himself up, he, he 244 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,040 felt some chills come on. He felt the presence of God. 245 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,080 And that's when God spoke. It was in the still small voice. 246 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,200 It wasn't at all the clatter and it wasn't at all the noise. 247 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,360 But it's when he got alone with God. 248 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,760 So what do you hear? Elijah, he met, he spoke to him 249 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,920 in a still small voice. So we need to find his seat. 250 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,680 This is a good place to start because we need to feel after 251 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,800 him. We need to we need to search out 252 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,720 God. Amen. 253 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,800 If we are his offspring then we are in need of our daddy. 254 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,000 Come on, I said if we are his offspring and we are, then we 255 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,040 need our daddy. So by shout, Amen. 256 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,800 See he is my daddy and I need him to be in charge of my 257 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,480 affairs and family. Hallelujah. 258 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,200 There are too many today that want him as Lord, but not Lord 259 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,560 of their life. Come on, Hallelujah. 260 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,680 You know they want to. They want him to answer their 261 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,360 prayers. They want him to answer their 262 00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:20,520 needs. You know, their financial 263 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,800 things. They'll bring all of those 264 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,800 things before him and they'll lay them down at his feet 265 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,960 because they want him to answer all of that, but they don't want 266 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:35,760 him to control their life. This is the world we live in 267 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,160 today. They want him, Lord of their 268 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,240 life to a point. I want you to take care of me, 269 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,040 Lord. And I want, I want to be able to 270 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,600 pray in the midnight hours when nobody else around, when I can't 271 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,640 get a hold of the doctor, you know, when I ain't got the money 272 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,760 to go to ER. I I want you to do something for 273 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,320 me then, Lord. But if you're figured on taking 274 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,160 care of my file over my finances, no, no, no, no, no. 275 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,440 I can handle that. But you know what? 276 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,720 It ain't your finances anyhow. It's his. 277 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,440 Can I tell you it's not? 10% is his. 278 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,520 It's all his. You wouldn't have nothing if it 279 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,960 wasn't for him. You think you worked and done 280 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,120 it? No, you didn't. 281 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:22,760 God done it. Come on, He can take every ounce 282 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,120 of strength from you and you'd have nothing. 283 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,760 God can train you overnight and there won't be nothing left. 284 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,920 But if you let Him be Lord of your life, He'll guide you in 285 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,920 the right direction. I'm going to be truthful with 286 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,920 you. We wouldn't have nothing, 287 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,400 wouldn't forgot. I'm speaking by experience now. 288 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,960 I'm speaking to myself. We weren't rich. 289 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,720 We raised our kids, and we was poor people. 290 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,040 I probably got more today than I've ever had in my life. 291 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,640 Come on, you know why? Because I found God. 292 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,960 I found this seat. I found where I could talk to 293 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,560 him. I found where we could have 294 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,320 communication together. And then I found out that if I 295 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,840 would sit down and talk to him, he'd give me a little guidance. 296 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,720 Hallelujah. Well, glory, I felt a little go, 297 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,160 a little clump, but that's all right. 298 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,520 If I hit you on your toes, just leave the other down or I hit it 299 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,880 pretty soon. Hallelujah. 300 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,400 It's according to the code, y'all. 301 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,480 We need the Holy Ghost. We need we, we've got a code to 302 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,760 follow. He, he want, I want the good 303 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,560 things, Lord, I want all this good stuff you've got for me. 304 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,640 That's God, you know, got TV preachers that preach, you know, 305 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,640 seed faith. You, you give us so much in 306 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,760 order. Now the Bible don't teach that. 307 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,040 No, you give him everything and then he gives you back. 308 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,040 He gives. Come on. 309 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,640 I'm sorry, but pastor's right. It's open hand on both sides. 310 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,520 It flows in, flows out. Hallelujah. 311 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,120 But you know what he won't leave you without. 312 00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:17,560 That's right. He won't leave you without. 313 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,640 He'll take care of his own, I promise that. 314 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:27,720 Hallelujah, Hallelujah. They want everything that he's 315 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,640 noted for. You know, he can do all things, 316 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,520 but you know, I can say that he does all things through Christ, 317 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,920 which strengtheneth me, comes from him. 318 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,160 But he's got to be the one in control. 319 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:48,160 Man, there is a code to follow. Acts 238 gives a very good 320 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,280 example. This is a code to file. 321 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,000 Then Peter said to them, repent and be baptized, everyone of you 322 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:02,040 in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you 323 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,040 shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 324 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,640 Now let me let me just call that back a little bit. 325 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,280 There is no promise of the Holy Ghost without baptism in Jesus 326 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,720 name. Repent, be baptized everyone in 327 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,120 the name of Jesus Christ and you shall receive the Holy Ghost. 328 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:28,840 But without the Holy Ghost, without being baptized in Jesus 329 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,280 name, there is no promise of the Holy Ghost. 330 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,920 If he does it, he's just having mercy on you. 331 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,160 Hallelujah. So Jesus name baptism is a part 332 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,480 of the code. Amen. 333 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,080 See repentance is and we got to we got to look at this because 334 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:54,160 repentance is turning around. You make a 180, you're going in 335 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,640 the opposite direction. You're not going the way you 336 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,520 used to. I've changed directions. 337 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,960 Now I'm going to go with the Lord. 338 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,880 Now I've I've been on the devil's side. 339 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,760 Now I'm headed toward the Lord. I'm in his favor. 340 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:14,920 Thank you Jesus, Hallelujah. Taking his name and then washing 341 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,520 your sins away. Baptism in Jesus name, it washes 342 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,840 your sins away. Amen. 343 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,840 And then receiving the Holy Ghost with tongues as the 344 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,320 evidence. Acts 2 and four says they were 345 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,160 all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak in other 346 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,280 tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. 347 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,800 Come on, this thing is not something that's taught. 348 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,160 It's not something that you learned in some school or was 349 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,880 taught, but it's it's God-given. It's a language. 350 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,960 All right, yes, I said it's a language. 351 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,960 It's something you wasn't taught. 352 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,440 You know how blessed you are to come up in the Apostolic Church 353 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,480 and know what the Holy Ghost is. There's some that grew up. 354 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,480 It don't know has to be explained to them. 355 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,880 They don't understand that what is this Jubilee shit they're 356 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,960 talking in? What is this going on? 357 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:20,120 Hallelujah Hallelujah Acts 1044 through 48. 358 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:28,880 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on 359 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,600 all them which heard the word. He just hearing the word they 360 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,000 were fit, and they have circumcision which believed were 361 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,160 astonished as many as came with Peter, because that on the holy 362 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,040 that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy 363 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,360 Ghost. Now listen verse #46 for they 364 00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:53,800 heard everybody said they heard them speak with tongues and 365 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,800 magnify God. I'm going to tell you the reason 366 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,360 they knew they had the Holy Ghost is because they heard 367 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,440 them. You know this baloney that when 368 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,240 you repent you receive the Holy Ghost is just what I said. 369 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,440 It's a bunch of baloney because there's a sound that comes with 370 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,160 it. Why you think that? 371 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,920 There was a sound of the Russian mighty wind that filled the 372 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,320 house. What do you think that was? 373 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,920 It was a Holy Ghost coming in and filling people and they 374 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,120 began to speak in tongues as the Spirit give them utterance. 375 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,640 These also, even after that day in Acts 10, when when they heard 376 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,600 the word, they were filled with the Holy Ghost, for they heard 377 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:42,560 them speak with tongues. That's the way you know you've 378 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,280 got. It's when you speak in tongues 379 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,000 that is the outward manifestation of the inward 380 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,800 Spirit. When He takes up residence 381 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,360 inside you, you'll speak in tongues. 382 00:26:56,360 --> 00:27:01,800 Glory Hallelujah, thank you Jesus and Peter said can any man 383 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,160 forbid water that these should not be baptized, which have 384 00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:09,960 received the Holy Ghost as well as we and he commanded them to 385 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:15,480 be baptized in the name of the Lord and they prayed then prayed 386 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,720 they him to carry tarry certain days. 387 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,520 Now since you have the Holy Ghost, it's time to be holy. 388 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:33,080 Everybody said Holy, holy Hallelujah, because acts one and 389 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,120 eight says, but ye shall receive power. 390 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:40,480 Everybody said power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you, 391 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,600 and ye shall be witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem and all 392 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,480 Judea and Samaria, unto the uttermost part of the earth. 393 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,320 It's a code. It's a code. 394 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,400 You got to follow the code. If you want your house to stand, 395 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,000 you got to follow the code. Thank you, Jesus. 396 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,560 And now we've got the power, because when we receive the Holy 397 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,960 Ghost, we receive power. See, we can't live this on our 398 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,880 own. Hey, they tried the law. 399 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,120 Nobody could live but the law. And I'm going to tell you it's 400 00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,680 still today. The only way we can do it is by 401 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,520 the power that dwells in US called the Holy Ghost. 402 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,440 When he give us the Holy Ghost, that's the only thing can make 403 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,240 you holy. It's a Holy Ghost. 404 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,080 Why you think they call it the Holy Ghost? 405 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,680 It's because it's holy. It it gives you the power to 406 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,520 become. Everybody said become. 407 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,200 We need that power to become because we can't do it 408 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,200 ourselves. I need the power to become 409 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,600 something. I can't live it without that 410 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,000 power to become. Is this important? 411 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,000 Oh yes it is. Let's see what the Bible says in 412 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:59,360 Hebrews 12 and verse #14 He said follow peace with all men and 413 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,200 holiness. Everybody said holiness, without 414 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:12,040 which no man shall see the well without the Holy Ghost, you 415 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,680 ain't even gonna see. I'm sorry. 416 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,520 I know you know people, I'm sorry, but there there's a lot 417 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,120 of people today that's preaching deathbed repentance. 418 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,760 Now say got the Holy Ghost. I'm sorry. 419 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,720 Now say got the Holy Ghost. I'm sorry. 420 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,000 There's nothing to change you. This body shall be changed. 421 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,880 You know how it's changed from the Holy Ghost that dwells in 422 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,480 you. It's going to be changed from 423 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,440 mortal to immortal. It's a new body, Hallelujah. 424 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,600 Old things passed away and be cold. 425 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,640 All things become new, Hallelujah. 426 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,800 It's the power to become. It's the code, Amen. 427 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,240 And without it no man shall see the Lord, Not going to see him, 428 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,560 not going to lay hand the eyes on him at all. 429 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,120 Leviticus 11 and 44 says, For I am the Lord your God, and ye 430 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,640 shall therefore everybody said, sanctify yourself. 431 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,400 OK, we're back under the law, and ye shall be holy. 432 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,080 Neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of 433 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,200 creeping thing. It creepeth upon the earth. 434 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:32,160 The word sanctify there in the Hebrew means observe as clean. 435 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,560 It means to be dedicated. It means to be consecrated. 436 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,520 It means to be hallowed. That's set aside holy for the 437 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,480 Master's sake. It means to be purified, 438 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,200 purified, holy, or all or complete. 439 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:58,320 It's a code. Somebody said it's code man 440 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,520 first. Peter 116 says because it is 441 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,760 written, be a holy for I am holy. 442 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,160 Hallelujah. I read something here while back 443 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,840 that said this and I liked it. It said people become what they 444 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:23,000 behold. I'm, I know I might be meddling, 445 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,800 but I wonder, I wonder what kind of live a life we're living 446 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,720 every day when we're out in the workplace or we're at 447 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,400 McDonald's. I wonder if we're portraying 448 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:45,960 Christ. Come on, I wonder. 449 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:56,160 I wonder if we're telling jokes. That's not clean. 450 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,920 I wonder what we're doing on the computer, kind of pictures. 451 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,040 Are we looking at What are we doing? 452 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,040 There's a code in this thing, and we got to follow the code. 453 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,800 It's strict. This is a straight way straight 454 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:23,000 as the gate narrows away and few few there be that find it. 455 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,560 Hell was a long one, enlarged itself. 456 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,920 It wasn't heaven. So I don't know about you, but 457 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,040 almost sounds like there's a lot more going to hell than our 458 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:50,560 heaven. Glory, Hallelujah, glory people. 459 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:58,720 People become what they behold. That's what they marvel at or 460 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,560 what they look at. That's the kind of life they 461 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:09,040 live or see somebody else live. Stevie Sanders, you sing a song 462 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:15,600 years ago and on the Jubilee on Sunday morning, he'd say he'd 463 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,880 sing. You're the only Bible that some 464 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,400 people read. You know what? 465 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,360 We got to be careful because some people, they may not ever 466 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,120 pick up the book, but they're watching your life. 467 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,560 They are watching you. Oh, they are watching you. 468 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,240 They're waiting on you to make a mistake. 469 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,760 They're waiting on you to say something off color. 470 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,400 They are. They're waiting on you to make a 471 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,560 mistake so they can talk about it. 472 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,360 Hallelujah. I want you to remember something 473 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,840 we need to remember. We are clad in the garb of Adam, 474 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:15,560 the old man, I said. We are clad in the garb of Adam, 475 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:24,440 the old man, Ephesians 422 through 27 that ye put off. 476 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,080 Everybody said. Put off concerning the former 477 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:34,400 conversation, the old man which is corrupt according to the 478 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:39,280 deceitful lust, and be renewed. Everybody said renewed in the 479 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:49,080 spirit of your mind, Oh God, Hallelujah that that Spirit that 480 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:54,360 lived in him live also in me. Thank you Jesus, and that you 481 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:59,440 put on the new man. Everybody said the new man which 482 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,720 after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 483 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,960 Verse 25 wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth 484 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,360 with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. 485 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:19,600 Be angry and sin not I don't know where you figure that out 486 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,200 yet, but the truth is, is the only thing we got to be angry 487 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:29,640 about sin. Let not the sun go down upon 488 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,880 your wrath neither give place to the devil. 489 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,560 I don't know whether you've I don't know whether you've kind 490 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,920 of come up with it yet. But the truth is there's got to 491 00:35:39,920 --> 00:36:03,900 be a dividing line. There's got to be a dividing 492 00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:06,020 line. Maybe I already made. 493 00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:08,540 I don't know you with this side here, this. 494 00:36:13,260 --> 00:36:16,300 Come on, there's a dividing line. 495 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:23,080 And I want to tell you what, the closer you get to the dividing 496 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:29,200 line, the more chances that you are to become a part of it. 497 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,760 So may I tell you tonight that it's not how close you can get 498 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,400 to sin and not nibble in it, but it's how far you can stay away 499 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,720 from it? It's not how close you can get 500 00:36:41,720 --> 00:36:45,440 to the world and still live for God, but it's how far you can 501 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,200 get away from it. Hallelujah. 502 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,480 I don't want to be a part of the world. 503 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,440 Come on. I don't know about you, but when 504 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,960 that trumpet sounds, I want to be ready to move. 505 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,200 Get out of here. But you can't live too close to 506 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:04,000 the biting line. Hallelujah. 507 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,720 Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. 508 00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:11,440 Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. 509 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,120 I want to tell you something. Holiness is a garment we must 510 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,320 put on. We might say Amen. 511 00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:39,640 It's a garment we must put on. It's a garment we must put on. 512 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:40,840 Amen. We got to be different. 513 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,000 Come on. There are to be an external 514 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,560 difference between the Christian and the Sinner. 515 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,720 Come on. There is a dividing line. 516 00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:01,920 There is a separating point. You know you can only hang 517 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,880 around the center very long. You can't make them a steady 518 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:10,480 diet or you'll be one of them. If you get around somebody 519 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,120 that's a questionable in their walk with God, if you're not 520 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:18,240 careful, you'll pick up on their habits that aren't good. 521 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,720 Come on. So the best thing we can do, 522 00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:26,400 sometimes I don't care if it's our family, sometimes you got to 523 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:35,290 separate yourself from them.

I can't hide it but on a 604 00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:42,040 Candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house. 605 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,880 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good 606 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,520 works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 607 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:56,000 Let them see your good works. That ain't saying you hide 608 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,160 everything else. What it's saying is it's your 609 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,880 good works is going to outshine everything else. 610 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:10,200 Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus, Haggai 29 I'm 611 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,600 about to close. The glory of this latter house 612 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,760 shall be greater than the farmer, saith the Lord of hosts. 613 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,520 And in this place will I get peace, saith the Lord of hosts. 614 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,120 I'm going to get to this one last point. 615 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,600 I want to talk about the fruit of the Spirit. 616 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,760 How many times have you heard it said fruits of? 617 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,600 There's nine fruits of the Spirit. 618 00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:44,280 It's not fruits, it's fruit and I'll tell you why because love 619 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:49,000 is 1 fruit. All the other things that follow 620 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,640 love are attributes of love and varieties of love. 621 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,640 Think about this. Joy is love singing. 622 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:08,000 Peace is love. Resting long-suffering is love. 623 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:14,160 Enduring gentleness is Love's touch. 624 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:21,800 Faithfulness is Love's habit. You want to get a habit? 625 00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:29,680 Get that. Meekness is Love's denying self. 626 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:36,880 Meekness is Love's denying self. Temperance is love holding the 627 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,640 reins. Temperance is love holding the 628 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:45,960 reins. So holiness is a big deal. 629 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:52,000 And the code that we follow is a big deal because if we will 630 00:47:52,000 --> 00:48:00,880 follow the code, we will stand. It will stand with us a man. 631 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:07,880 One verse of Scripture first John 4:00 and 8:00 and I'm 632 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:13,840 closing. He that loveth not God knoweth 633 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:18,560 not God, for God is love. He that loveth not knoweth not 634 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:25,280 God, for God is love. I don't know about you tonight, 635 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,440 but I want to be living according to the code and I 636 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,920 could carry on from here and go a long ways yet. 637 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,040 I'm closing. Amen. 638 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,840 It turned red, so I'm I'm within there. 639 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:47,360 Musicians can come. Could we stand tonight? 640 00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:56,400 Oh Lord Jesus, I want us to take inventory tonight of our lives. 641 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,560 Can't tell you how many times I've inventoried my life when I 642 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,760 was putting this together. Thank Lord. 643 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:17,160 Am I according to the code? If I failed you in any area, 644 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,240 Lord, what do I need to do to straighten it up? 645 00:49:31,110 --> 00:49:32,910 I don't want us to miss the mark. 646 00:49:35,670 --> 00:49:37,830 This is a straight and a narrow way. 647 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,600 And if we can't walk it like that, then we're in trouble. 648 00:50:01,430 --> 00:50:04,870 There may be some things in your life that you need to change. 649 00:50:09,150 --> 00:50:16,110 You may need to move away from the fence a little bit, get away 650 00:50:16,110 --> 00:50:18,310 from the dividing line a little bit. 651 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:28,240 Not that it's going to ZAP you or take you in, but don't see 652 00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:37,200 how close you can get to sin and still stand for God because our 653 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:42,800 flesh is weak. Catch us at the wrong time and 654 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,400 we may bow to that step across the line. 655 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:59,040 And what if, when we step across that line, our life ends and we 656 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:06,760 miss heaven? I believe some people are 657 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,600 leaving, living too close to the edge. 658 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:18,400 They're flirting with the devil, flirting with sin. 659 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,080 Be careful your sins will find you out. 660 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:39,600 Psalters open tonight.
