Praise the Lord, man. 88 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,760 Merriam Webster's dictionary says grace means unmerited 89 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,640 divine assistance given humans for their regeneration. 90 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,440 Mercy, pardon, special favor and charm. 91 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,400 Glory, the Interpreters Interpreter's Dictionary of the 92 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,280 Bible, when I began just to look at it, it's got 5 pages to 93 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,800 describe grace. Think about that. 94 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,520 Amen. So I want, I want somebody to 95 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,440 shout, somebody shout. Grace is a big deal. 96 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,640 Grace is a big deal. It is grace is a big deal, Amen. 97 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:40,960 For grace encompasses everything that God is, all of the things 98 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,800 that speak about God, His goodness, His strength, and all 99 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,520 of it. All of this encompasses God. 100 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,840 That's what God is. He is grace. 101 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,000 Amen. Under the law, righteousness was 102 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,520 demanded. But under grace, righteousness 103 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,200 is a gift. Under the law, blessings came by 104 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,760 obedience. Under the law, Amen. 105 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,320 Under grace, blessings are a free gift. 106 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,320 Under the law, men were judged by the law. 107 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,360 Under the law, men became the judge by the law, but under 108 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,280 grace, God is the judge. Aren't you glad of that 109 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,480 Hallelujah. So the definition of grace that 110 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,320 I read somewhere the other day and I don't even remember where 111 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,360 it got, but I I read it and I liked it and it said this 112 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,000 because I thought if this don't describe God in his grace, it 113 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,920 says to bend OR stoop in kindness to an inferior. 114 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,680 If that isn't God, because when I think about how he got down 115 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,920 and he got his hands dirty for you and me and we're inferior to 116 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,480 him, yet he bowed to our knees. And I want you to know all these 117 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,800 years later, God is still bowing to our knees. 118 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,760 You can count on grace. Grace will not fail you. 119 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,520 He'll bend down every time to you and He'll pick you up out of 120 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,920 the the miry sinned and he'll show you grace. 121 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,280 Hallelujah. Thank God for grace, Hallelujah, 122 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,520 Hallelujah. I want you to know though, that 123 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,880 grace is humble. Grace is young. 124 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,520 Mayor merited favor of God toward man Hallelujah, the death 125 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:44,680 and the great nation of grace is is just so as how he bends to 126 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:45,160 us. Yeah, I want to. 127 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,120 I want to show you. I want you to get a picture of 128 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,320 grace.

I want to put on grace. 133 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,160 Thank you, Jesus. I mean, he's got grace. 134 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,920 I got grace. But I want to put on grace 135 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,960 because I don't taste them. We don't look at grace. 136 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,160 I think enough. I I think we look at it, but not 137 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,720 seriously. I'm going to tell you something 138 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,000 about grace. See, look at this shirt. 139 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,560 I don't know, Back and forth behind someplace you might find 140 00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:34,040 a few smudges. That's what grace does. 141 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,920 It gets its hands dirty for you. And we think of Grace that it's 142 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,320 all well put together and it's, it's so fine. 143 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,400 And you know, it's, it's in its best, but Grace does its best in 144 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120 the dirt. Come on. 145 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:56,000 Because Grace, it gets all twisted up, you know, You know, 146 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,120 there's not always that you could really read Grace. 147 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,680 But Grace works. Grace puts on its work clothes. 148 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,840 Let me tell you, Grace is no different than any one of us. 149 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,480 We get Grace and we think it's all dressed up in a suit, you 150 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,640 know, and it's got its tie on and it's got its Sunday shoes 151 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,640 on.

And and we twist it up. 156 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,920 Grace don't twist himself up, but we twist up Grace. 157 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,280 If we're not careful, we hurt Grace's feelings. 158 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:43,840 Every time you go against God, you've hurt his feelings, but he 159 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,240 loves you enough that he gets down in the dirt right where 160 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,160 you're at and he says it's all right and he'll pick you back up 161 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,680 again.

Let me tell you something. 188 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:37,440 Hebrews 4 and one says, let us therefore fear lest a promise or 189 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,840 by said a promise being left us of entering into his rest. 190 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,240 Any of you should to come see to come short. 191 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,400 I don't want to come short. And if we come short, it's not 192 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,600 God's fault. He's got enough grace to save 193 00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:00,760 you. Come on, woo, Paul said I, I 194 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,120 prayed 3 times for God to heal me of this thorn in the flesh. 195 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,480 I don't know what it was. You can you can have your own 196 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,720 little thing on it. But nobody really knows what 197 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,000 that thorn was but he. But he said I prayed for it 198 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,080 three times. I've sought him that he would 199 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,600 heal me. You got to understand Paul's a 200 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,240 man that he prayed for others and they were healed. 201 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,800 Why can't I pray for myself and be healed? 202 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,040 Anybody ever been there? Come on, come on. 203 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,120 You've prayed for somebody else and God touched them and healed 204 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,200 them, but here you are. You're going through all of this 205 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:40,360 mess, Paul said. I've sought him three times and 206 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,840 he's turned me down three times. But then he said, he said, Paul, 207 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:51,160 my grace is sufficient. The truth is, I'm right down 208 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,880 where you are, Paul. It's all right. 209 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,840 Come on. If you get in prison, I'm going 210 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,040 to be there. Come on. 211 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,200 If you're preaching against the enemies and they're beating you, 212 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,760 I'm going to be there. Come on. 213 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,760 In fact, really, if they're beating you, they're not beating 214 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,440 you, but they're beating me. It's for me that they're beating 215 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,480 you. It isn't for yourself, Paul. 216 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,360 So my grace is going to be physician going to going to be 217 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,000 all right. Hey, my grace is sufficient for 218 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,720 you because I'm going to make it to where you won't feel the pain 219 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,000 so bad. Come on, Paul, I'm going to take 220 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,680 care of you. No matter where you're at, 221 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,640 whether you're in prison. I don't care where you're at. 222 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,560 I'm going to take care of you. You know why? 223 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,920 Because you count on grace. God's grace is real. 224 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,600 Come on. You don't have to worry about 225 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,840 it. It's strong. 226 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,160 Come on. You can't destroy it. 227 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,040 Come on, somebody say Amen. I said you can't destroy it. 228 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,000 There's some of you that think you've done went past grace. 229 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,920 But honey, I don't care how far you go away from God, you'll 230 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,920 never destroy the grace of God because you can count on grace. 231 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,920 You understand, Bishop, I've been the worst of sinners. 232 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,560 I don't care how bad you are, God won't fail you. 233 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,760 Grace is always there. It's around the next corner. 234 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,320 If you've not found it yet, maybe it's there. 235 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:30,840 Hallelujah, glory, Hallelujah. Well, what made grace so? 236 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,680 You know what made it so good? Well, I want to tell you what it 237 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,960 made. Why Grace is so good is because 238 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:47,600 He made it accessible to us when He had taken all the sins of 239 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:53,280 this world on his body and he hung on the tree and every one 240 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,320 of those sins was nailed to that cross. 241 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:07,760 I'm talking about grace. And he threw out his arms and 242 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,760 said it's finished. And when he said it's finished, 243 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,480 Grace opened up and the temple from the top to the bottom, the 244 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,960 veil was rent into. And you think he's going to fail 245 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,480 you now Come on, can I tell you the doors open to grace? 246 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,760 Come on, the curtain has been wrenched. 247 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,920 Come on, you, you, you don't understand. 248 00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:36,120 You can dig it into grace now and first hand you can go before 249 00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:39,320 the Lord and say, OK God, I lay all my sins down there. 250 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,680 And the Lord said, OK, you're forgiven. 251 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,360 You just got to ask him and he'll forgive you. 252 00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:49,040 That's how simple grace is. Come on, somebody ought to 253 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,880 shout. You can count on grace. 254 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:58,640 I said you can count on grace. Thank you, Jesus. 255 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,240 Grace is real and it's wonderful. 256 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,880 Hallelujah. Grace opened the door whenever 257 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,640 he died on the cross and the veil was renting twain. 258 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:18,040 He opened the door for every one of us and from then on he's been 259 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,680 saying my grace is sufficient. You know why? 260 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:26,200 Because you can go in at will. I don't care if it's 3:00 in the 261 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,720 morning. You go in and Grace said I'll 262 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,320 take care of it. Come on. 263 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,680 I had a high the other night. It was 330, I don't know, 4:00 264 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,000 in the morning. I made my way down the stairs 265 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,240 and I walked back to that there fancy, you know, workouts place 266 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,760 that we've got with all of the latest tools. 267 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,400 I'm talking about old, not new. And I walked in there and I 268 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,520 worked out for an hour and I went back to bed. 269 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:05,320 Guess what? Next morning it still wasn't 270 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,200 down like I wanted it to be. But guess what? 271 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,600 Before the day was over, it was all right. 272 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,080 You know why? Because grace is sufficient. 273 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,800 Even at 3:00 in the morning. You can't count on grace. 274 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,120 If you can't find the doctor, you can't find the nerves. 275 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,200 You haven't got enough pain pills. 276 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,920 Take care of it.

Hallelujah, Hebrews 4 and verse 280 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:52,200 1516. For we have not a high priest 281 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,600 which cannot be touched with the feeling. 282 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,360 Everybody said the feeling of my infirmities. 283 00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:06,840 Somebody say my sickness, my pain, my troubles, my 284 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:15,280 temptation, whatever.

I want to tell you what's going 346 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,920 on. Something struck me this 347 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,440 afternoon. Wasn't really in my message, but 348 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,240 it fits so well that I thought I might seem like God just began 349 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,480 to take to me. God is. 350 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:13,480 So, you know, we're living in a time of measuring now. 351 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,640 I'm going to talk to young people a while. 352 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,680 I'm telling you, we're living in a generation and then I'll get 353 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,320 to the middle age and the older people. 354 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:33,400 But we're living in a world today that you all young people 355 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:40,280 are up against some things. There is somebody always 356 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,640 measuring you.

Well, you might, but I know the 509 00:35:54,700 --> 00:36:00,400 story because he told me the same night from the path. 510 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,240 Hey, it's a God thing. He's even here. 511 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:13,880 He hadn't hadn't hit that beam at the end of that road and the 512 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,720 Lord threw him up over that beam and then the if he hadn't have 513 00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:22,440 thrown him over, he didn't have a helmet on, he wouldn't be 514 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:23,720 here. He'll tell you that. 515 00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:28,240 He'll tell you that God put him on over that thing. 516 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,200 And he said if it wasn't there, I'd have probably went on out 517 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,560 and died anyway because he didn't have a helmet on. 518 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,480 And there's a great big ditch there. 519 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,920 Come on now, come on now. And he said when I was in that 520 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:48,440 helicopter headed to Champagne, he said I was praying to Jesus 521 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,800 all the way. I want to tell you there is a 522 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,840 time in you. All of this stuff. 523 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,000 If you neglect God's mercy enough, he'll put you in place. 524 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:07,240 You got to pray. If if you forget God, God will 525 00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:10,920 forget you for a while. You'll know when you come to the 526 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,200 end of mercies because something's about to happen. 527 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,120 He won't kill you. He might make you wish he was 528 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:27,040 dead. The pains get harder. 529 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,240 Oh, yeah, yeah, it's, it's that way. 530 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:37,280 You know, Facebook friends, you know who's got the best video on 531 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,360 YouTube?

It wasn't how much she gave. 618 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:23,680 She gave all she had. When you, when you give all you 619 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,400 could have, Sister McGee, during that time, I was laid off. 620 00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:34,360 We never missed paying ties.

You know what Bible says? 631 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,520 Many that go into that wide gate. 632 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:13,360 Many, everybody said many but few that go through the straight 633 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,480 gate. Come on. 634 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,080 If you want to go with the crowd, honey, you're going the 635 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,200 wrong way. Come on. 636 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,840 If you want to go with those, it's popular and seems to be 637 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,560 more of, go ahead. But I'm telling you, the fuse, 638 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,320 what's going to make it? See, you got to remember 639 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,160 something. It wasn't heaven that enlarged 640 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,800 itself, but it was hell enlarged itself. 641 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,400 What I'm saying here tonight is God was counting on you. 642 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,760 So he wasn't going to have to make hell any bigger because 643 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,920 it's, you know, he may have to enlarge a little more, but he 644 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,280 ain't going to make heaven any bigger because he knows you're 645 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,080 in the right faith going to be all right. 646 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,720 It's going to be all right. Hallelujah. 647 00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:03,640 Matthew 20 and verse 16. I'm not, it's not, I'm not going 648 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:11,680 there, but says the last shall be 1st and the 1st shall be 649 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:16,120 last. He says few that many are 650 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,920 called, but there's just a few chosen. 651 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:25,280 Is that the way God is? Hallelujah, Hallelujah, thank 652 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:30,200 you Jesus, Hallelujah. So let us not forget the throne 653 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,760 of grace. Let us not forget there's people 654 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:38,520 in our midst that needs God. See Romans 81 says there is 655 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:43,360 therefore now no condemnation to them there when Christ who walk 656 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:49,000 not after the flesh. Let me let me remind you Amen. 657 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,160 There is no condemnation to them that love the Lord none. 658 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:58,000 You hear that Jonas sin by obeying, by not obeying God and 659 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,800 ended up in the wells belly, but he he went to the throne of 660 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,960 grace and found favor again with God and the Lord restored him 661 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:12,200 back to the ministry. Come on your, your past, your 662 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,960 past and those things you've done wrong. 663 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,520 I'm going to tell you it's not going to matter because God's 664 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,280 grace is enough. It's enough to take care of 665 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,400 every one of your sins. He he don't look at you and say 666 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,280 no, you're you know, hey, people think, well, I can never get 667 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,000 back to where I was. Oh yeah, you can. 668 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,680 You can go past that because I believe when you come back to 669 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,480 God, he's going to take you farther than you've ever been 670 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,280 just to show you that his grace is sufficient. 671 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,640 You're going to understand the Bible better than you've ever 672 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,520 understood it because you're going to read it with passion. 673 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:48,840 You know why? Because grace. 674 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,320 You can count on it. It won't fail you. 675 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,480 Hallelujah, Jesus. Well done. 676 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,160 Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. 677 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,680 Hallelujah. Peter denied the Lord, but he 678 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,840 found favor at the throne of grace. 679 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,120 That's right. And Day of Pentecost. 680 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:14,000 And he became the messenger. You know what? 681 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,680 Can you imagine how Peter's shirt must have looked? 682 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:27,280 He denied him. He covered up the grace of God. 683 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:35,240 But the Lord didn't forget him. He didn't even forget Judas. 684 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:40,240 When they come to get him. Come on, when, when he he even 685 00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:45,480 sold the Lord and whenever he they come in the Garden of 686 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,720 Gethsemane, he called him friend. 687 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:56,440 Come on, you can count on grace. So the Lord says, I'm going to 688 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,920 take care of it, Peter. So on the day of Pentecost, you 689 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:01,520 know what? Peter didn't go back to the 690 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:02,920 denier. Guess what? 691 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:10,440 Grace, Grace, grace drove him to a new place in God that he'd 692 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,400 never been. Come on. 693 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,120 Instead of being a denier, he became somebody that would 694 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,440 preach the gospel no matter what. 695 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,680 You know what? Because you can count on grace. 696 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:29,080 Oh Jesus, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 697 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:41,240 See Jesus, don't condemn. He convicts and whether you that 698 00:49:41,240 --> 00:49:44,600 that is a conscience feeling that God puts in every one of us 699 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,000 from birth to know right from wrong. 700 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,280 In other words, He don't sentence you to death, but he 701 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,120 brings to life conviction in you and you know when you've done 702 00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,160 something wrong. Y'all know what I'm talking 703 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,000 about You ever space you get the Holy Ghost through it. 704 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,600 You know it's before it's there anyway because it was born in 705 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:11,920 you to know right and wrong. But did you know after you get 706 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,360 the Holy Ghost, there's something that grabs you and 707 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:23,560 says you really know when you've done something because the Holy 708 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,840 Ghost is your teacher and it gives you a feeling. 709 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:31,160 What you saying, Bishop? I'm telling you, grace will not 710 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,200 fail you. Even when you're in question, 711 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:39,280 grace will not fail you. Thank you, Jesus, Hallelujah. 712 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,080 Got to hurry up, got to got to get done. 713 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,840 Hallelujah. What he does is he brings to 714 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,400 life conviction in you and now you know when you're doing 715 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:56,120 wrong. Matthew Henry says this and I, I 716 00:50:56,120 --> 00:51:00,560 thought my, this is good. He says the stream of grace and 717 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,480 righteousness is deeper and broader than the stream of 718 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:09,720 guilt. He said we are not only feeding, 719 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,720 we are not only freed from our chains, but like Joseph, we're 720 00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:20,080 advanced to the second chariot. Not just pardon, but prefer. 721 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,200 I can all get you all thinking like that, that God prefers you 722 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,840 when he when he come down and he picked you up out of sin, he 723 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:36,160 handpicked you, Sister Ray, and he's not sorry at that. 724 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,480 He's glad Brother Ray's when Reese, when he picked you up out 725 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:46,440 of the sin and set your feet on the rock, he preferred you. 726 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,200 Grandma told me that she preferred you to be in this 727 00:51:54,200 --> 00:52:02,720 church. And I I told her I preferred her 728 00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:09,820 to be here with him. You can come in and sit down 729 00:52:09,820 --> 00:52:11,380 with us. Grammy, Be fine. 730 00:52:13,020 --> 00:52:15,220 So she gave me a little spill, and I just let it go. 731 00:52:15,220 --> 00:52:16,700 You know, I'll get her another time. 732 00:52:18,340 --> 00:52:20,340 Come on.

No place in the Bible says you 743 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:57,240 get Oh yes Sir.

So yeah, you don't come to 747 00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:08,960 church.

Come on. 750 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:19,960 Hey, this is a family of God and I don't care. 751 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,720 I need you as much as you need me. 752 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,520 This isn't just one or two hands. 753 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,000 It's got their hand in the pie here. 754 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:34,760 Come on, we're in this together and there is power in numbers. 755 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,360 The more people that worships God in here, the more that's 756 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:42,400 going to. I just got to get somebody to 757 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,480 get excited with me, to run with me a little bit. 758 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,640 Been trying. I've been trying to talk to 759 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,200 Brother Pat, see if he wouldn't do a couple wheelies for us 760 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,720 tonight while we're preaching. I told you so, Brother Pat, I 761 00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:57,240 could use you tonight. I need, I need people 762 00:53:57,240 --> 00:54:00,200 worshipping while I'm preaching because see that that gives the 763 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,120 preacher more strength. I know you all wishing. 764 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,000 I just shut up. It's already red. 765 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,080 I told him. I said, man, you could do a 766 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,120 little wheelie on that, you know, with that thing. 767 00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:15,120 Raise them front wheels up off the ground. 768 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,000 He didn't act like he won't do that. 769 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,120 That's where I preach. Maybe he'll you know, grace of 770 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,720 God, but do it right. Hallelujah. 771 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,640 Grace went with Joseph to the pit. 772 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,560 Grace went with him to Egypt. Grace went with him to Potter's 773 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,440 house. Grace went with him to prison, 774 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:39,600 and grace went with him to Pharaoh, and he became the 775 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,960 second in the chariot. Let me tell you, the devil and 776 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,360 people condemns you, but conviction comes from God. 777 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,280 You hear me that? Did you get that? 778 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,640 I said the devil and people condemns you, God don't. 779 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:59,800 He convicts you, convicts you, draws you to God. 780 00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:02,480 You hear me? I said conviction draws you to 781 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,320 God. Conviction is God's way of 782 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,960 letting you know that you've made a mistake, but he invites 783 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,960 you to the throne of grace so you can take care of it. 784 00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:20,440 Where you find the Bible says mercy and grace, mercy and 785 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:28,240 grace. Hallelujah, you can count on 786 00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:32,000 grace. Come on, I'm here to tell you 787 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,440 the devil condemns you for your past because he knows you've got 788 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:41,840 a bright future. Oh, glory. 789 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,680 The woman caught an adulterer in John 8. 790 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:49,560 Mercy found her, and Grace got his hands dirty for her. 791 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,160 And Jesus got down and he was, you know. 792 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,440 Hey, here you go. It was some of these hell, you 793 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,720 know, we found her in the very act of adultery. 794 00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:08,080 The Bible that the the law says that we are the Stoner. 795 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:13,080 What do you say it's down rights on the ground. 796 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,240 They were on the ground twice. Last time he got up and 797 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,120 everybody was gone. He said woman or is your 798 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,840 accusers. He said I have none. 799 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:33,240 Lord, I nobody condemned you. No, nobody said neither do I 800 00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:35,080 condemn you. Go and sin no more. 801 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:41,280 Come on, you can count on grace. I don't care what you've done, 802 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:46,840 you can count on grace. Oh Hallelujah, thank you Jesus, 803 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:54,360 Hallelujah, Hallelujah. John 9 verse six and seven. 804 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,720 When he had said thus, he speed on the ground and made clay of 805 00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:01,320 spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with clay and 806 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:06,000 said to him, Go wash a pool of salon, which is interpretated by 807 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,160 interpretation sent. And he's went his way therefore 808 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:16,440 and washed came sing glory, Hallelujah Jesus. 809 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:23,800 And that just like Jesus, sometimes grace has to get its 810 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,960 hand dirty. Come on, church, you can count 811 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,800 on grace. Don't frustrate grace. 812 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,360 Don't cast it off. Don't set it aside. 813 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:43,720 Don't reject it. Don't count it as not musicians 814 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:48,160 can come. Hallelujah. 815 00:57:54,910 --> 00:58:00,110 Micah 7 says that he'll take our sins and he'll cast them in the 816 00:58:00,110 --> 00:58:06,880 depths of the sea. Psalms 100 and 312 says our sins 817 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,040 is removed from us as far as the east is from the West. 818 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:19,760 Jesus, you can count on grace. I want to promise you one thing, 819 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:37,360 you are not left out a stand. I promised myself I wasn't going 820 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:38,720 to preach our see. I did. 821 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:52,440 I feel like tonight there's some people in here, sorry, but 822 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,840 there's people in church that's got out their take. 823 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,000 But I want you to remember one thing. 824 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:14,320 There was a time, I don't care how much of A Christian you are, 825 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,440 how long you been a Christian, there is a time somebody could 826 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:22,880 have measured you because we've all depended on the grace of 827 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:26,040 God. There's not one of us that's 828 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,240 walked past His mercy and his grace. 829 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:37,240 He's been gracious. And he wants somebody tonight in 830 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,960 this house. Somebody's been wrestling. 831 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,360 There's some of you in this house been wrestling with the 832 00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:53,000 old devil for a long time. And you've thought I'm never 833 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:58,520 going to be able to live for God, but you can. 834 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,200 He never removes the welcome sign. 835 01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:09,480 It's always there. It's open night or day, 24 hours 836 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:16,680 a day. He visits you in the most 837 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:26,400 unusual time. Sometimes he'll put somebody in 838 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:31,840 your life that you just been praying for, or he'll deal with 839 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:37,840 some of your family members that you didn't think it ever changed 840 01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,800 because they've been brought up a certain way. 841 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,960 But I'm going to tell you one trip sometimes to Apostolic 842 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:53,680 Church, and you start feeling something you've never felt 843 01:00:53,680 --> 01:01:00,480 before.
