00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,500
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith.

00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:08,900
Message podcast from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,400
Now, enjoy this message. 
He is so good. 

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,400
And so faithful. 
Isn't he? 

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,300
Come on it and he's so good. 
So faithful because nobody can 

6
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:30,400
love us. 
Like, Jesus can come on nobody. 

7
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:36,300
Nobody can Love Me. 
Like, Jesus can love me. 

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,800
Come on, Hallelujah. 
There was a void in every human 

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,400
heart. 
That was always meant for his 

10
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,200
love to feel glory to God. 
And it's only his Is love that 

11
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,800
can completely satisfy. 
Completely satisfied. 

12
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:01,100
Hallelujah. 
No man. 

13
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:04,500
Come on, no woman. 
I don't care how good they are, 

14
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:08,300
they can't satisfy that place 
that only God can satisfy. 

15
00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:12,800
No Mama no Daddy. 
Come on. 

16
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:19,300
No child. 
No child. 

17
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:27,100
Nothing can satisfy that human 
heart. 

18
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:29,600
That only God was supposed to 
feel. 

19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,100
Hallelujah, with complete love, 
pure love himself. 

20
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,600
That's all. 
He created us to encounter and 

21
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,800
to experience is the pure love 
of God. 

22
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,900
Hallelujah. 
It's all we ever wanted us to 

23
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:52,900
know from the very beginning. 
He created man in the garden. 

24
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:58,900
He created him to have that love
relationship with him. 

25
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:03,700
Amen. 
And man was never to encounter 

26
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:07,200
any other type of love, but 
because of the Fall, come on, 

27
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:13,200
imitation had to come into play 
of what this world could try to 

28
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:19,400
feel of what everything else in 
the world, could try to satisfy 

29
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,700
because we were living by our 
senses and how we fell. 

30
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,600
Because of the sin nature 
because of the Fall, amen. 

31
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:31,200
Hallelujah. 
But he never his original intent

32
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,300
was never for us to have to 
encounter any other type of 

33
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:39,900
love, but just pure Agape, which
is God himself. 

34
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:44,000
A gossip, a that's all we were 
ever intended to encounter. 

35
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,800
Hallelujah. 
And it's the very thing that 

36
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,800
every human heart is still 
searching for that. 

37
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,800
Doesn't know him. 
Amen. 

38
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:59,700
And you know, Ephesians talks 
about the fact Of how he wants 

39
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:04,000
us to know, deaths, and widths 
and lengths, and Heights of his 

40
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
love. 
So, you know what that tells me,

41
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,600
we can encounter more and more 
and more, and more, and more and

42
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,100
more and more of his love. 
We've not exhausted his love. 

43
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:21,500
Come on, come on. 
There's so much more to 

44
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:26,000
encounter with his love. 
It wasn't just too. 

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,900
Come on, just be there to love 
us enough to save us and to, you

46
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:35,400
know, fill that heart. 
But know, his love was there to 

47
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:43,400
continually bring a supply. 
Every day as we grow in him to 

48
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,100
where we could grow in him and 
in his love in depth and width 

49
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:54,000
and length and height that no 
man can do outside of him, he 

50
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
can take you to places. 
Come on, everybody talks about 

51
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,200
in the natural, how, you know, 
man, and woman they can take you

52
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,500
places. 
No, nobody can take you to a 

53
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:14,800
place but my God, come on. 
No matter how good it is in the 

54
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,800
natural, his is even better. 
Hallelujah. 

55
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,300
Hallelujah. 
And so we need. 

56
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:27,200
If we don't have that 
relationship with him that we 

57
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:33,300
are growing in these depths of 
love with him on a continual 

58
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:36,100
basis. 
They're still going to be lack 

59
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:39,100
and they're still going to be 
things that you're not satisfied

60
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:44,400
with. 
Come on, but it's up to you to 

61
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,300
grow in this love a men to grow 
in the love of God and to 

62
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:54,200
continue to be motivated by his 
love. 

63
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,700
Everything we do in the kingdom 
of God should be motivated by 

64
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,200
his love. 
If his love is not the 

65
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,900
motivation. 
For why you come to church? 

66
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:08,300
Why you serve? 
Why you help the poor. 

67
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:13,400
Come on, it's nothing. 
See your motive is wrong. 

68
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:21,200
The motivation for why we do 
what we do is because we want to

69
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:27,100
love him, come on and serve him.
And it's because I love him that

70
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,700
I'm doing the things that I'm 
doing. 

71
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,600
Hallelujah. 
It has to be the motivation of 

72
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,700
our heart glory to God. 
Well I'm preaching tonight. 

73
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:45,100
If y'all have figured that out 
you know and Pastor did a 

74
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:51,000
wonderful job on the route of 
love right in his teaching, to 

75
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,400
get some things Back in Balance 
that the world always tries to 

76
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,100
get out of balance and for some 
reason, it always gets up in the

77
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:03,100
church. 
Right. 

78
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,300
You know and I don't remember, I
believe he said this you know 

79
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:11,700
with everything in the word of 
God there is always and has 

80
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:17,700
always been a god side and a man
side and that's the thing that 

81
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:20,300
it seems people always get 
confused. 

82
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:25,100
Because it was always God 
working with man. 

83
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,800
So there is a God side and 
things that he has done and has 

84
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,100
established. 
And God, I've said this before 

85
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:37,200
has already done everything. 
He's gonna do Jesus has 

86
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,600
fulfilled his purpose and has 
already done everything he's 

87
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,200
gonna do. 
Right? 

88
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,300
And now it's the holy ghost at 
work in our lives and through 

89
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:53,500
our lives to continue to allow 
Allow us to hear from God to 

90
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:58,500
grow in God, to do the things 
necessary that we need to do for

91
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:01,700
God and operating in his 
kingdom. 

92
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,500
Amen. 
And we have a responsibility now

93
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,700
that God has done everything for
us. 

94
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:14,300
We have the responsibility now 
that we have to work this thing.

95
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,000
Now, we're not working that in 
the flesh to be born again. 

96
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:23,400
No, we are working under his 
Come on and by faith. 

97
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,600
To see the purpose and the plan 
that God has for each and every 

98
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,900
one of our Lives to come to pass
and there's a Grace upon our 

99
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:38,000
life to be able to accomplish 
that whatever it is, right? 

100
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,300
There's a Grace to be able to do
that and we do it by faith. 

101
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,400
We do it by faith but he 
ministered on you know, the 

102
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:53,100
route of love and we saw that, 
you know, there has always been 

103
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:56,800
and will always continue. 
Continue to be conditions to his

104
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,800
love. 
Amen. 

105
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,100
I don't have a problem with 
that, it's set boundaries for my

106
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:07,100
life when I needed to be reined 
in. 

107
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Come on, set. 
Boundaries, is it that what we 

108
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,500
are as parents supposed to do 
for our children? 

109
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Set boundaries why? 
So they don't get out of 

110
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,300
control. 
And run wild because no human 

111
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:25,200
person was ever supposed to be 
self-governed. 

112
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:31,700
We were always supposed to be 
governed by God, come on by him.

113
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:36,200
And there was always boundaries 
set, right? 

114
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:40,100
Because love has boundaries, 
amen. 

115
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,600
So, you know, in him teaching on
love. 

116
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:49,900
We also remember him talking 
about, the fact that God is love

117
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:53,700
God does not feel loved, right? 
God is love. 

118
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:57,200
He is the essence of love. 
It is his nature. 

119
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,500
It's who he is. 
He is love, right? 

120
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,800
We just have to have a proper 
definition of what his love 

121
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:11,300
produces right and how his love 
operates for us to continue to 

122
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:15,500
make sure that we're walking in 
alignment with what he says love

123
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:22,000
is and not what the world says 
love is right and And so you 

124
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
know with love we know that he 
said that God is love it's the 

125
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
very essence of who he is. 
It's his nature. 

126
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,900
Some people say it's his 
character. 

127
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,300
Love is his character. 
It's who he is right? 

128
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:41,100
We can say this. 
He is the source of pure love. 

129
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:47,000
He's the source of Love of Holy,
Love of pure love. 

130
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:55,900
Amen, of undefiled love. 
Come on of undefiled, love the 

131
00:09:55,900 --> 00:10:01,500
world has defiled. 
What God created. 

132
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:11,100
And turned it into lust, right? 
Okay, so we have to recognize 

133
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:14,200
that he is love. 
He is pure love and not only 

134
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:21,300
that, that the foundation of his
kingdom and how he operates is 

135
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,000
through. 
Love the foundation, of the 

136
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,300
kingdom of God, is love, right? 
Why is this important? 

137
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:31,700
You remember Pastor ministered 
on the floor? 

138
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,300
Forest and he always talked 
about, you can't see the, what 

139
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:42,100
the the trees for through the 
forest, right? 

140
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:46,600
Because so many people get 
focused on different parts of 

141
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,300
God that they miss the whole 
picture, the big picture of the 

142
00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:55,100
Kingdom, but he and talking 
about the forest when he 

143
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:57,700
preached and Minister on that 
I'll never forget. 

144
00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:05,100
He talked about how that before 
Forest bed is love. 

145
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:11,300
Everything up comes up out of 
love, every tree in. 

146
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:16,100
The kingdom of God, comes up and
grows from what love. 

147
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,100
It's the forest bad. 
What does that saying? 

148
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:22,700
It's the foundation. 
It's the foundation of the 

149
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:26,600
Kingdom, which is love because 
God is love. 

150
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:34,000
So everything that he has to 
offer us as being his children. 

151
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:41,100
Right is He's always motivated. 
His motivation is love and life 

152
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,100
everything. 
He brings brings life to it, 

153
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:47,700
right? 
His motivation is love. 

154
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:51,000
So when he talks about healing 
what is that? 

155
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,900
Tree of healing growing up out 
of love. 

156
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,000
When we talk teach on faith, 
what is Faith growing out of 

157
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,300
actually we know and Galatians 5
Faith Works through love and if 

158
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:06,500
we don't operate in love, our 
faith is not Going to work 

159
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:12,600
bottom line, so you can sit in 
church and have aught with your 

160
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,300
brother and at like your faith 
is working, but you're a liar. 

161
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:21,600
That's just I mean he called you
a liar and his word is can say 

162
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:27,200
it, right. 
Right, you can't do it. 

163
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,900
It won't work, his scripture. 
Says it won't. 

164
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,600
Right? 
So everything every subject, you

165
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:42,800
know, our confession, the 
sanctification, the blood, all 

166
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,800
of these subjects that we learn 
about the Holy Spirit, none of 

167
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,000
these things can operate 
properly if we don't understand 

168
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,500
that it has to be funneled 
through. 

169
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:02,400
Our heart of love. 
The motivation has to be through

170
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,600
the heart of love, because 
that's his heart. 

171
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,800
That's who he is. 
That's how his kingdom functions

172
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,200
and operates, right? 
So it's very important that we 

173
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:20,300
recognize that as well, right. 
Now I want to say this God's 

174
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:24,800
love in definition, and who he 
is, is agape, Agape. 

175
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,500
Is the Greek word for the love 
of God, okay. 

176
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:33,800
And that is a pure type of love.
It is God himself. 

177
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:40,300
And the thing about it is, is we
must be allowing love to be the 

178
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:45,100
driving force behind our daily 
life in Christ. 

179
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,900
It must be the driving force. 
It must be the thing that pushes

180
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:56,200
us that propels us. 
That drives us to live this 

181
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:03,500
Kingdom Life his love, okay? 
And so we're going to talk about

182
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:09,800
his love and talk about agape. 
Love a little bit for the next 

183
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,000
few Wednesday nights. 
We'll see where we go, right. 

184
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,900
You know how? 
That's how I flow will see. 

185
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,000
We may not do. 
Love the whole time. 

186
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,900
There may be something, the Lord
a direct me to through the 

187
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:25,500
process, but we're going to 
start with love. 

188
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:37,400
Okay, let me say this. 
That love God's love has to flow

189
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:41,600
through you. 
God's love was never meant to 

190
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,600
just be, and we're going to get 
to these scriptures in a minute.

191
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,100
I'm just laying a foundation 
shed abroad in your heart to 

192
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:59,000
just remain in your heart. 
His love must flow through you. 

193
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,800
It must flow through you and 
we're going to see the 

194
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:09,500
connection there. 
His love is always connected to 

195
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,700
others. 
We're going to see this 

196
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,500
everywhere. 
He talks about his love in 

197
00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:19,500
Scripture. 
It always has a reference to 

198
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:25,500
others. 
Okay, we're going to see this in

199
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:28,300
scripture. 
Why is this important? 

200
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:30,700
Because it wasn't just about 
Jesus loved you. 

201
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:34,000
And it's about your little 
personal relationship with Jesus

202
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:39,000
and nothing else matters. 
No everywhere. 

203
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,400
You see he talks about love. 
It is connected to someone else.

204
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Always and we're going to see 
why. 

205
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,700
Because this type of love, the 
love of the father cannot be 

206
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:57,600
contained. 
It cannot be contained because 

207
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:03,500
his love is not selfish. 
His love is pure, his love is 

208
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,700
selfless. 
He is love and love has to give 

209
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:14,400
of itself and that's why he 
created man because he needed 

210
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:20,700
another, come on object to be 
able to shed his love on to pour

211
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,900
his love out on because love 
can't be contained. 

212
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:31,500
It has to be given out his love,
his love has to be given out, it

213
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:38,200
has to flow to others because 
that's who he is. 

214
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:46,400
Who he is, okay. 
Love his life, was always 

215
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:50,500
supposed to be reciprocal, 
right? 

216
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:56,700
Of reciprocal thing. 
Always that it would just flow 

217
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,300
and continue to go into other 
another individual into another 

218
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:03,500
individual into another 
individual. 

219
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:08,700
It was always supposed to flow, 
never to be contained, just so 

220
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:14,000
you can enjoy his love because, 
you know, it's he loved me. 

221
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,200
You have to say these things 
because this world is so wrapped

222
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,700
up in itself. 
That we've bought that lie even 

223
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:31,400
in the church. 
Come on. 

224
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:36,600
That even the people in the 
church, don't want to share his 

225
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,900
love. 
How in the world can you not 

226
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:44,800
share about his love? 
How in the world? 

227
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,900
Can you be so selfish to keep it
all to yourself? 

228
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:56,700
Come on. 
No no, no. 

229
00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:01,600
His love was supposed to flow. 
It was supposed to flow, and 

230
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,200
that's how we end up getting 
selfish. 

231
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:09,600
Christians is, when we don't let
it flow, it actually will become

232
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:18,300
stagnant within your own heart. 
Clogged up, come on. 

233
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,600
So let's go to a few scriptures 
so y'all won't keep looking at 

234
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,700
me like that. 
First John Chapter 4 verses 7 

235
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:38,600
through 21. it says this beloved
let us love o one another For 

236
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:45,200
love is what so his love that's 
from him. 

237
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,900
It's supposed to be what? 
For a one another, not just you 

238
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,300
come on, not just you. 
But for one another and everyone

239
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:59,800
who loves is born of God and 
knows God the one who does not 

240
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:05,600
love, does not know. 
God for God Is Love by this. 

241
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,900
The love of God was manifested 
in. 

242
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:12,100
In us that God sent his only 
begotten son into the world, so 

243
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:15,500
that we might live through him 
in this love. 

244
00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:20,000
Not that, we loved God, but that
he loved us and sent his son to 

245
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,700
be a perpetuation for our sins. 
Beloved, if God, so loved us, we

246
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:32,700
also ought to love one another. 
Again, no one has seen God at 

247
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:37,400
any time and if we love one 
another, oh, this is 

248
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:45,800
interesting. and if we love one 
another, God abides in US, And 

249
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:53,100
his love is perfected in US. 
That word perfected means 

250
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:56,000
mature. 
It's matured. 

251
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,900
So you can have the love of God 
in your heart that has not 

252
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:05,800
matured and is still selfish and
still wrapped up in what God's 

253
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:13,700
done for you. 
If you've not allowed this love 

254
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:18,600
to flourish and grow within your
heart that he shed abroad and 

255
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,600
we're going to read that 
scripture in a minute. 

256
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:26,600
So he says this by this. 
We know that we abide in him and

257
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,900
he in us because he has given us
of his Spirit. 

258
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,900
We have seen and testified that 
the father has sent the son to 

259
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:37,200
be the savior of the world. 
Whoever confesses that Jesus is 

260
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,700
the son of God, God abides in 
him and he in God God, we have 

261
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:45,900
come to know and believe the 
love, which God has for us. 

262
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:53,700
God is love and the one who 
abides in love abides, in God, 

263
00:20:53,700 --> 00:21:01,400
and God abides in him. 
By this love is perfected with 

264
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,300
us by what? 
How is love perfected in us? 

265
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:10,100
If we abide in his love, that 
word abide. 

266
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,900
Stay put in his love and I'm 
going to tell you in the world. 

267
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:19,900
We're living. 
We better abide and stay put 

268
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,600
because there's some unlovely 
things happening in the world 

269
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:30,600
and we must be abiding in this 
love on a continual basis. 

270
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:36,200
Dwelling in this love staying 
put in this love right? 

271
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:44,300
Sitting in a posture of love. 
Then he says, then he says, this

272
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:49,800
is love is perfected with us, if
we are continually what abiding,

273
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,600
so that we may have confidence 
in the day of judgment because 

274
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,400
as he is. 
So, are we in the world? 

275
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,100
There is no fear in love, but 
perfect love. 

276
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:05,300
What cast out fear? 
His perfect love cast out fear. 

277
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,900
His perfect love again that word
means matured love. 

278
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:15,200
His perfect love has his love 
matured within you. 

279
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:19,900
It should be so matured within 
you that covid doesn't fear 

280
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:28,800
bring fear to you. 
Because perfect love cast out, 

281
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:31,200
fear. 
Perfect. 

282
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,600
Love mature. 
Love within your heart. 

283
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:40,000
Come on will not fear when you 
get the diagnosis of cancer. 

284
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,200
Come on, perfect. 
Love dwelling in. 

285
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,000
You abiding in you and you've 
matured in this love. 

286
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:53,400
You've gone to death and widths 
and Heights. 

287
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,500
And length of his love 
continually year after year 

288
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:00,500
growing in the knowledge of his 
love. 

289
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:05,900
Come on, that thing's listen. 
That the world is fearful of you

290
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:11,500
don't have to fear you don't 
even have to fear, man. 

291
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:19,600
That can take your life. 
The Bible says, come on, we 

292
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,100
don't have to fear because we've
allowed his Love to mature 

293
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:31,700
within us grow within us to 
perfect us to a place that I 

294
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:34,900
know. 
I'm encapsulated in his love, no

295
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:37,700
matter what from day-to-day his 
love. 

296
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:41,400
Come on, just it's all around me
within me. 

297
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,200
Soak it out of me. 
When things come up throughout 

298
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,900
the day that want to get me out 
of a place of love with 

299
00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:50,100
somebody. 
It don't even happened. 

300
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:53,000
You know, why? 
Because it's oozing out of me. 

301
00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:03,300
That's how we should live. 
So full of his love, I said this

302
00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:05,300
year, I'm living in the 
Overflow. 

303
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:10,900
Y'all can stay shallow if you 
want but I'm going to live in 

304
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:16,900
the Overflow of all that God has
come on. 

305
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:22,100
So it's very important that we 
recognize that. 

306
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:25,700
If we've allowed God's love to 
perfect us, we don't have to 

307
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:28,800
fear anything. 
What can man do to US? 

308
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,300
Economic collapse, who cares? 
I'm not going to worry about it.

309
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:41,100
A day in my life. 
Right, who cares? 

310
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,800
Time and time again, you can see
through scripture, if you've 

311
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,200
read your Bible from Genesis to 
Revelation year after year, 

312
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,900
after year, after year, come on,
32 years of reading the word and

313
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:56,400
acting on the word. 
You ought to have something in 

314
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:05,600
your heart. 
You don't have to fear verse 19.

315
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,700
It said we love because he first
loved us. 

316
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:12,700
We can't love right outside of 
God. 

317
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:21,500
We cannot love outside of him. 
We'll have a disordered view of 

318
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:27,000
love outside of him because 
everything that this world has 

319
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,400
is nothing. 
But Distortion verse 20 says 

320
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,500
this. 
If someone says I love God but 

321
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:38,100
hates his brother. 
I don't even know how half of 

322
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:41,100
these Christians can act a fool 
the way they do. 

323
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:50,900
Hating on people and talk about 
people, slander people and say 

324
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:56,800
they are believers and Ron 
people to the ground. 

325
00:25:57,300 --> 00:25:59,500
Talk about them. 
Slander them. 

326
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,100
Actin crazy. 
And have and thinking, they're 

327
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:11,700
there, right with God, that that
ain't even right, that ain't 

328
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:17,600
even right. 
Christians have racist problems.

329
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:27,100
Come on, I ain't even right. 
So he says I love God or he says

330
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:30,800
if you say you love God but hate
your brother, what does he call 

331
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:37,800
you? 
He said it for the one who does 

332
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,500
not love his brother whom he has
seen, cannot love God. 

333
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:46,500
Whom he has not seen. 
Now, who is he talking to here? 

334
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:51,000
In this book of First, John, he 
is talking to believers. 

335
00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:02,500
You ain't talking to the world. 
He's talking to believers. so he

336
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:07,000
says this verse 21 and this 
commandment we have from him 

337
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:14,300
that the one who loves God 
should also what Love his 

338
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:17,400
brother, always. 
His love has always been 

339
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,700
connected to one another. 
To someone else wasn't just 

340
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:26,100
about you. 
It was about others and I think 

341
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:32,800
in the church we forgotten that 
We forgotten because we've we've

342
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,400
watered down Christianity so 
much and have taught that this 

343
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:42,500
is all just about you and Jesus,
come on that we become so 

344
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:46,400
selfish with it that we don't do
anything. 

345
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:51,800
We don't do anything with this. 
Love that we've encountered. 

346
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,300
You ought to be so jacked, 
excited to go share and pour out

347
00:27:56,300 --> 00:28:02,200
his love on somebody else. 
That everybody you encounter, 

348
00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:05,600
they ought to see, wow, there's 
something about you, what is it?

349
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,500
And it they should be able to 
recognize your love just flowing

350
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:17,400
out of you. 
Hallelujah. 

351
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,000
It says verse 21. 
This is very important when he's

352
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,500
talking to Believers here and he
says this commandment we have 

353
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:28,000
from him that the one who loves 
God should love his brother. 

354
00:28:28,300 --> 00:28:31,800
You know what he tells us? 
It's a commandment, it's not a 

355
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,200
choice. 
Whether we could sit in service 

356
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,500
and and have aught with somebody
have something against somebody.

357
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:42,500
Not forgive somebody, come on, 
not be walking in love with 

358
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:45,400
somebody. 
We don't have that Liberty and 

359
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,400
we don't Have that choice? 
That is not a choice. 

360
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,300
You have as a Believer. 
He says it's a command that we 

361
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:56,100
are to love. 
So command that we're to love. 

362
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,700
We're to love. 
No matter what. 

363
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,600
No matter what. 
And that's pure love. 

364
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,800
That's pure love. 
That's his love when we can love

365
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,700
no matter what. no matter what 
someone said about us, no matter

366
00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:20,800
what someone has done to us, no 
matter what When we can still 

367
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,400
love them. 
Come on. 

368
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,500
So I want to title this message.
The Royal law of love. 

369
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:37,300
Yes, I'm using the word law. 
Because his Commandments were 

370
00:29:37,300 --> 00:29:40,500
simply what I don't have a 
problem with it. 

371
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:46,200
I don't know why people get so 
uptight about legalistic law, 

372
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:51,400
all this stuff, because the word
of God is legal and binding. 

373
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:55,600
It is his law. 
It's his law. 

374
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:57,900
I didn't. 
I never had a problem with it. 

375
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:01,900
I mean I never did I didn't know
anything about the word of God 

376
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:04,600
and I started reading it and 
just decided Well he said it, I 

377
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,800
better do it and nobody had to 
tell me. 

378
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,200
And I didn't feel bound. 
Right. 

379
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:19,800
No, I felt liberated and free. 
Because I knew he loved me and 

380
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:26,000
what he said was best for me. 
So James chapter 2 verse 8, this

381
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,900
is why I'm calling it. 
The Royal law of love because 

382
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:36,800
James 2:8 calls it that and the 
new King James version, it says 

383
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,400
if you really fulfill the Royal 
law. 

384
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:45,600
According to scripture, you will
love your neighbor as yourself 

385
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,800
and you will do well. some of us
aren't doing well, because we're

386
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:56,200
not loving one another We're not
loving one another. 

387
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:58,400
We have a fences with one 
another. 

388
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,300
We have issues with one another 
and it usually starts, even if 

389
00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:05,400
you're married, usually you have
in the marriage. 

390
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,700
And that's something you got to 
really watch out with that. 

391
00:31:10,700 --> 00:31:15,300
You don't have fought with your 
sibling, not your sibling, 

392
00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:18,400
sorry, your spouse. 
You could have fought with your 

393
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:23,500
sibling as well, right? 
So he says, if you really 

394
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:26,200
fulfilled the Royal law, why am 
I calling it? 

395
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,800
The Royal law? 
Because when you look up that 

396
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,800
word, Royal it is literally 
basilic, which is the keep do. 

397
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:40,400
The kingdom law of love. 
It's Royal. 

398
00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:44,300
It's the kingdom law of love. 
Amen. 

399
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:50,000
And he says that if we are to 
operate in it, fully than we're 

400
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,700
going to be ones that are going 
to love our neighbors as 

401
00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:56,600
ourselves. 
Okay, now I want to get into a 

402
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,800
few. 
I want to have, I'm going to 

403
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,100
have two points about this 
tonight, but I just want to 

404
00:32:01,108 --> 00:32:03,200
continue to read some scripture 
here. 

405
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:08,000
Matthew 22, 36 through 40. 
It says this teacher, which is 

406
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,600
the great commandment I am at 
and the law that Jesus said to 

407
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,400
him this was them asking him. 
You shall love the Lord, your 

408
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,100
God with all your heart, with 
all your soul, and with all your

409
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:21,700
mind, this is the first and 
great commandment. 

410
00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:26,700
And the second is like it. 
You shall love your neighbor as 

411
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:32,000
yourself on these two 
Commandments, hang all the law 

412
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,600
and the prophets. 
Okay. 

413
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:39,500
All the these two Commandments 
hang on all All the laws and the

414
00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:46,400
prophets, but then we see in 
John chapter 13 verses 34 

415
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,500
through 35. 
It says, a nude, this is Jesus 

416
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:52,800
speaking here. 
He says a new commandment. 

417
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,400
I give to you again. 
He called it a commandment 

418
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,200
because he knew people human 
nature. 

419
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,100
He said, he knew the hearts of, 
man. 

420
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:04,700
He knew human nature. 
He knew the hearts of man, that 

421
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:07,400
they wouldn't just automatically
love. 

422
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,900
That they needed to be commanded
to love and you still see people

423
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:15,000
have a hard time. 
Loving one another today. 

424
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,700
Come on. 
So he commanded it to it and he 

425
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:23,200
said, listen, he said a new 
commandment. 

426
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:28,500
I give to you that you love one.
Another as I have loved you that

427
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:32,400
you also love one another. 
Again, you are you're seeing 

428
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,500
every one of these scriptures 
connected to other people. 

429
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,100
To one another, to your 
neighbor, right? 

430
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,000
And he said this, by this, all 
will know that you are my 

431
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,100
disciples if you have love for 
one another. 

432
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,100
So how is God, how are people 
going to know? 

433
00:33:52,100 --> 00:33:55,100
You're truly his disciples 
because you lay hands on people 

434
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:59,800
and cast out demons and can 
prophesy and pray in tongues and

435
00:33:59,900 --> 00:34:05,800
and you know all these things. 
because you can go out into the 

436
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:13,400
streets and, you know, know The 
World's Gonna know, people are 

437
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,699
going to know that, we're truly 
his disciples because we have 

438
00:34:16,699 --> 00:34:21,000
love for one. 
Another, we actually operate in 

439
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:27,000
love people actually see us have
things going on in our lives 

440
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:32,699
that we have to deal with and 
forgive one another for And they

441
00:34:32,699 --> 00:34:34,800
see. 
Wow, you were able to forgive 

442
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:39,100
them, your marriage was able to 
be restored after your husband, 

443
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:42,900
cheated on you, with five women,
come on. 

444
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,500
I bet somebody would take notice
of that, kind of love. 

445
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,900
What night? 
Wow, you were able to walk in 

446
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:02,200
love with them and forgive them 
because they abused your child. 

447
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,800
Wow, they stole your money and 
you're able to forgive them for 

448
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,900
still in your whole bank 
account. 

449
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:18,200
Not because you cast out a 
demon. 

450
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,200
Because you were able to love 
and forgive somebody for 

451
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,900
something they did to you. 
Right. 

452
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:33,700
This is real. 
We are quiet it. 

453
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:36,700
I know it's spring break. 
I'm thankful you're even here 

454
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,700
you see see where everybody's at
on spring break. 

455
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:46,300
Hallelujah. 
So but Jesus said this is a new 

456
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:50,800
commandment see. 
Jesus came and fulfilled the law

457
00:35:51,300 --> 00:35:54,800
of love. 
He came and fulfilled it. 

458
00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:59,200
So now we aren't just supposed 
to love because y'all love 

459
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:04,000
yourself hard sometimes. 
So thank God. 

460
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,700
He came and fulfilled it and now
we have a new commandment to 

461
00:36:07,700 --> 00:36:11,300
love as he loved because we 
don't love ourselves very well 

462
00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:14,200
sometimes. 
So how are we going to love our 

463
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,500
neighbor? 
Like we love ourselves when a we

464
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:18,400
ain't doing too good with 
ourselves. 

465
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:23,100
But see Jesus came and wrapped 
it all up. 

466
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:27,800
Come on and fulfilled it. 
All he was the essence Jesus 

467
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:35,100
brought Agape into the Earth. 
He brought it into the Earth. 

468
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,800
He brought his love, the 
Father's Love. 

469
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:45,500
He was the Manifest presence of 
Agape to the world. 

470
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,900
He brought him into the world. 
And he said, I fulfilled it all 

471
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:55,500
and now you can love like I 
loved. 

472
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:59,500
That means when they beat me in 
the face, and, and plucked my 

473
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:03,800
beard out and put thousands of 
stripes on my back and threw me 

474
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,600
to the Wolves. 
So to speak. 

475
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,400
Come on. 
That means I could still stand 

476
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,300
up and say, father, what forgive
them for, they know not what 

477
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:17,000
they do, because I'm loving them
and forgiving them. 

478
00:37:21,300 --> 00:37:25,300
So now, he lets us know that you
now have a commandment to love 

479
00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:30,000
like him. 
And this is a higher form of 

480
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,200
love. 
It's a higher standard of love. 

481
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,400
Amen. 
And we can't do it outside of 

482
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,000
him. 
We must have his love. 

483
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,400
Because we can't do it outside 
of him. 

484
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:51,300
We can't do it in and of 
ourselves. 

485
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:58,300
We can't do it not being tapped 
into his love in our daily life 

486
00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:02,900
and abiding in this love, right?
We know. 

487
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:07,800
And this is how we know that we 
have his love in our hearts is 

488
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:12,400
because he tells us in Romans 5 
verse 5. 

489
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,900
It says this hope does not 
disappoint because the love of 

490
00:38:15,900 --> 00:38:19,300
God has been poured out one 
translation shed shed abroad. 

491
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:24,200
What in our hearts by the holy, 
Spirit who was given to us. 

492
00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:28,100
So the minute you got born 
again, guess what was the first 

493
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:32,600
thing that showed up? 
And why you encountered him like

494
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,600
and had this piece in your life 
and that hole in your heart 

495
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,200
filled and all the sin and all 
the guilt and all the 

496
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:45,000
condemnation and everything you 
felt before he swooped in and 

497
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,300
filled that Heart full of his 
love. 

498
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,000
It was the first fruit. 
It was his love. 

499
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,500
It was a god Bay, that was 
poured out in your heart and now

500
00:38:56,500 --> 00:39:03,800
you can love like he loves you 
can forgive like he forgives, 

501
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:09,400
come on. 
You can encounter any situation 

502
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,800
and not fail. 
If you apply his love to your 

503
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:21,900
life, if you apply his love. 
Of to your life outside of it. 

504
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:28,700
We can't do it. 
First John, 3 1, through 3, says

505
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,500
this behold? 
What manner of love? 

506
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:36,600
The father has bestowed upon us.
That we should be called 

507
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,300
children of God. 
Therefore, the world does not 

508
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:42,300
know us, because it did not know
him. 

509
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,700
Beloved now, we are children of 
God and it has not yet been 

510
00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:50,400
revealed what we shall be. 
But we know that when he is 

511
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,400
revealed we shall be like him 
for. 

512
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,400
We shall see him as he is and 
everyone who has this hope in 

513
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,500
him purifies himself just, as he
is pure. 

514
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:05,600
Now, I don't want to get over 
into that, but let's I want to 

515
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,900
drop down to verse 16. 
Yeah, we have a responsibility 

516
00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:17,300
to keep our self purified. 
From the contaminations of this 

517
00:40:17,300 --> 00:40:19,900
world. 
It's our responsibility not 

518
00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:25,800
gods. 
Anyway, verse 16 of that First, 

519
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:31,400
John 3 says this by this, we 
know, love because he laid down 

520
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,900
his life for us. 
We also, what ought to lay down 

521
00:40:34,900 --> 00:40:37,400
our lives for our Brethren. 
How many of us? 

522
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Believers are laying down our 
lives. 

523
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,600
Meaning sacrificing a little to 
go serve some, but one of our 

524
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,200
brother, maybe you see somebody 
that needs help with something. 

525
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:54,400
And instead of skew sitting 
there watching your Netflix show

526
00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:57,300
you decide hey I'm going to go 
help them because they needed 

527
00:40:57,300 --> 00:41:00,800
help moving this or they needed 
help doing this and they ask for

528
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,200
help. 
So I'm going to go help him 

529
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,900
instead of being selfish come 
on, right? 

530
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:10,200
So this is what he's talking 
about. 

531
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,900
Laying down your life, not dying
for them, but self-sacrifice for

532
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:22,000
them, sacrificing yourself to be
able to help some Someone else 

533
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,400
in the kingdom of God. 
So it says, but whoever has the 

534
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,400
world's good, see, he's letting 
us know and sees his brother in 

535
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,500
need and shuts up his heart from
him. 

536
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:35,800
How does the love of God even 
abide in him? 

537
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:42,500
Wow. 
How does the love of God abide 

538
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:45,500
in him? 
My little children, let us not 

539
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:51,400
love in word or in tongue, but 
in deed and truth. 

540
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,400
That means we're going to have 
to do something to demonstrate, 

541
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:59,600
love always demonstrated. 
He was a demonstration of his 

542
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,800
love to humanity that he 
decided, you know what? 

543
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,100
I'm going to send my son, come 
on. 

544
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:09,400
I'm going to send my son wrapped
in flesh to redeem mankind. 

545
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,400
And then he goes on to say and 
by this we know that we are of 

546
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:23,000
the truth and shall assure our 
hearts before him for if our 

547
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,900
heart does not condemn us. 
God is greater than our heart 

548
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:32,000
and knows all things beloved. 
If our heart does not condemn 

549
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,200
us, we have confidence towards 
God and whatever we ask we 

550
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,000
receive from him because we keep
his Commandments. 

551
00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:43,700
What is this commandment talking
about his love and to do those 

552
00:42:43,700 --> 00:42:47,300
things that are pleasing in his 
sight and this is his 

553
00:42:47,300 --> 00:42:50,000
Commandment that we should 
believe on the name of the son 

554
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,300
of Jesus Christ and love what 
one another, there it is again, 

555
00:42:55,300 --> 00:43:00,700
and he gave Gave us. 
This commandment he gave us this

556
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:04,600
commandment. 
So his love was always bent to 

557
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,400
affect someone else's life that 
you're around. 

558
00:43:09,700 --> 00:43:14,500
That you're around. 
Who is it that you're connected 

559
00:43:14,500 --> 00:43:18,100
with and his love ought to be 
affecting your world. 

560
00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:23,600
Your world, your your workplace,
your job, the people you're 

561
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,700
investing it all of these 
things, the love of God should 

562
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:31,400
be flowing from you and 
everything that you're doing. 

563
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,000
And the only thing you're 
motivated by is that love, would

564
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,300
be seen. 
Through your life. 

565
00:43:38,500 --> 00:43:43,000
So that they could be drawn and 
receive and be a reciprocal 

566
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:49,900
precipitant of the love of God. 
Amen. 

567
00:43:49,900 --> 00:43:52,900
That's why we're doing it 
because we should be loving 

568
00:43:52,900 --> 00:43:55,700
people to do the things that we 
are doing. 

569
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,700
Now, let me give you two points.
The only way that we're going to

570
00:44:00,708 --> 00:44:05,700
be able to walk in this love and
keep ourselves. 

571
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:11,600
This love growing in our hearts 
and keeping this love fresh in 

572
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,400
our minds and in our hearts and 
in our daily lives is, we're 

573
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,400
going to have to abide in his 
word. 

574
00:44:20,300 --> 00:44:26,000
If you have an issue with 
somebody, if you have something 

575
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,300
going on in your heart, if you 
know, you need to forgive if, 

576
00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:32,900
you know, you still are not a 
person that's fully 

577
00:44:32,900 --> 00:44:37,700
understanding and recognizing 
the depths of what his love can 

578
00:44:37,700 --> 00:44:42,000
do in your life. 
You need to read first, John, 

579
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,300
you need the, the book you need 
to read John the book. 

580
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,600
You need to focus on those. 
Books because it's all about his

581
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:57,600
love and others until you get it
so saturated with in your life. 

582
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,500
Come on that. 
It becomes the reality of you, 

583
00:45:01,500 --> 00:45:07,200
walking it out. 
If there's people, you need to 

584
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:11,000
forgive if their situations that
took place in your past, if 

585
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,300
there's things that happened in 
your life, whatever. 

586
00:45:14,300 --> 00:45:18,500
If you're still struggling with,
you know, a spouse or a sibling 

587
00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:24,500
or a parent, you should be 
focused on this book John and 

588
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:27,700
first John you should that 
should be something that your 

589
00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:32,800
daily meditating on. 
Listen, it don't just happen 

590
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,900
just because you come to church 
guys. 

591
00:45:37,900 --> 00:45:44,400
It doesn't say active and Alive,
unless it's daily, you making an

592
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:50,300
effort to put it in your heart. 
It won't happen, it won't 

593
00:45:50,300 --> 00:45:54,300
happen. 
So, outside of the word, it will

594
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:59,200
not produce anything in your 
life, but actually religiosity 

595
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,400
and deception. 
Deception. 

596
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:10,100
Being a hearer of the word but 
not deceiving yourselves, 

597
00:46:10,100 --> 00:46:13,200
deceiving yourselves, that, 
you're good with God. 

598
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:21,200
Come on, when you're not, Okay, 
so we don't want deception to be

599
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:25,200
a part of our lives. 
So the only way we're going to 

600
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,200
be able to walk in the god Kind 
of Love is if we continually 

601
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:33,100
abide in his word. 
First John 5 1 through 4 says 

602
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:36,900
this whoever believes that Jesus
is the Christ is born of God, 

603
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:41,600
and everyone who loves him, who 
begat also loves him, who is 

604
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:46,100
begotten of him by this. 
We know that we love the 

605
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:51,700
children of God when We love God
and keep his Commandments for 

606
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:55,500
this love. 
The love of God, that we keep 

607
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:58,600
his Commandments and his 
Commandments are what not 

608
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:04,000
burdensome. so he's letting us 
know that his Commandments don't

609
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:10,600
burden you down Like everybody 
thinks when they hear legalism 

610
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,700
and and all, you know, you're 
preaching, the law and you're 

611
00:47:13,700 --> 00:47:17,600
talking about command. 
He just said his Commandments 

612
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,400
are burdensome. 
Know, you have a wrong 

613
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:24,900
perspective. 
He said, they wouldn't burden 

614
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:29,800
you down, right? 
No. 

615
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,300
It actually liberates and brings
Freedom. 

616
00:47:33,300 --> 00:47:37,400
The Devil Wants. 
You bound and wants to lie to, 

617
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:42,300
you. 
Keep you in religion, or keep 

618
00:47:42,300 --> 00:47:47,500
you bound to unforgiveness and 
not walking in love because he 

619
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:51,200
can have a field day with your 
life and you'll never walk in 

620
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,200
the purpose and plan. 
And fullness of God, so verse 4 

621
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,200
says this, for whatever is born 
of God, overcomes the world and 

622
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,400
this is the victory that 
overcomes the world. 

623
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,100
Our faith. 
Amen. 

624
00:48:05,300 --> 00:48:09,000
Verse John first. 
John 2536 says this. 

625
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:15,100
But whoever what keeps his word?
Truly, the love of God is 

626
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:19,500
perfected in him. 
Whoever keeps his word. 

627
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:24,100
The love of God is perfected in.
You the love of God is perfected

628
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:26,300
again. 
That word means matured. 

629
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,800
The love of God. 
When you keep his word, the love

630
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,800
of God is being perfected in 
you. 

631
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:36,200
It's maturing within you because
you're keeping his word, you're 

632
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,700
doing? 
What his word says your, you 

633
00:48:38,700 --> 00:48:42,300
need to his word, your daily 
meditating and his word, you're 

634
00:48:42,300 --> 00:48:46,400
living every day out his word in
your life. 

635
00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:48,300
Come on, when I didn't know 
anything. 

636
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:51,100
You know, the first thing I did 
know to do whatever the word 

637
00:48:51,100 --> 00:48:55,600
said. 
When I didn't know how to be led

638
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,600
by the spirit when I didn't, 
when I wasn't filled with the 

639
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,900
Holy Ghost, come on, when I 
didn't know how Faith worked 

640
00:49:01,900 --> 00:49:03,600
when I didn't know all these 
things. 

641
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,600
But what I did know is he said 
it, I believed it and just did 

642
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:12,100
it because I know what I was 
doing before, what working. 

643
00:49:12,100 --> 00:49:17,000
So I was saying, well this must 
work So let me do it. 

644
00:49:18,500 --> 00:49:23,100
Didn't have a pastor, didn't 
have a mentor come on. 

645
00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:26,000
I said this before. 
I didn't have nobody taking me 

646
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,700
along the side and having to 
have meetings with me on a daily

647
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:34,000
basis and all these things. 
No, I picked up the word and I 

648
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,400
read the word that I've gotta 
forgive, and I've got a walk in 

649
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,400
love and I've got us. 
Come on exercise by faith and 

650
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,900
whatever the word said to do, if
he says not drink because he 

651
00:49:44,900 --> 00:49:48,100
said no, drunker would inherit 
the kingdom of God guess what? 

652
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:53,600
What I didn't do. 
If he said this wouldn't inherit

653
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,700
the kingdom of God, guess what? 
I decided, I, well, I don't want

654
00:49:56,700 --> 00:49:59,900
to do that because I surely want
to be inheriting the kingdom of 

655
00:49:59,900 --> 00:50:04,800
God. 
I mean, it doesn't take a brain 

656
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:09,000
surgeon. 
It doesn't take a degree. 

657
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,400
It doesn't take a doctorate. 
Come on. 

658
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:17,300
No he said it's childlike Faith.
Just simply believing what his 

659
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:21,000
words said that's the first step
and how many Christians don't 

660
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:26,700
even do that. 
The first step of you growing 

661
00:50:26,900 --> 00:50:31,700
and maturing and learning who he
is and walking and letting love 

662
00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:35,900
be developed in your life and 
letting the fruits of the spirit

663
00:50:35,900 --> 00:50:39,600
operate in your life and, and 
doing all the things that the 

664
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,100
word says to do, before we even 
knew who we are, come on, just 

665
00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:47,200
do the word because when you 
read the word, it's a mirror. 

666
00:50:48,100 --> 00:50:51,600
This is what you're becoming. 
This is what is a come on. 

667
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,800
You are transforming into the 
image. 

668
00:50:57,500 --> 00:51:00,900
The washing of the watering of 
the word. 

669
00:51:02,500 --> 00:51:06,800
Hallelujah, that we need. 
And we're so, deficient of 

670
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,900
reading the word, and I'm going 
to tell you two minutes on a 

671
00:51:10,900 --> 00:51:16,600
clip is not enough. 
You still need to pick up the 

672
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:21,600
written word of God and open up 
your Bible and sit there and 

673
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:26,200
read it. 
So that you're not distracted by

674
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,400
all the things that come through
on your phone. 

675
00:51:31,300 --> 00:51:36,800
Or your iPad nothing will ever. 
You know, this is still the 

676
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,800
number one selling book in the 
world. 

677
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,900
Nothing will ever replace this? 
Nothing. 

678
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,500
Hallelujah. 
So we need the word down in our 

679
00:51:50,500 --> 00:51:54,200
hearts, so that when things 
happen, man, it's easy for for 

680
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,100
love to just flow. 
That's all right. 

681
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,500
We're just going to love them 
and go on, forgive them, forgive

682
00:52:00,500 --> 00:52:01,600
them. 
Father, they don't know what 

683
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:06,900
they do, we need to have that 
heart and let it just roll off. 

684
00:52:08,100 --> 00:52:10,700
Just forgive them, they don't 
know what they do, even if they 

685
00:52:10,700 --> 00:52:12,900
do know what they're doing, God 
bless them. 

686
00:52:14,700 --> 00:52:17,400
Because then he Kohl's will be 
heaped upon their head. 

687
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,200
I don't want coals on your head 
but you going to get them on 

688
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:25,500
your head if you don't repent. 
Right. 

689
00:52:27,700 --> 00:52:33,000
You know, so we need to realize 
that we must be people of the 

690
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:37,700
word and abiding in his word is.
So he says, but whoever keeps 

691
00:52:37,700 --> 00:52:39,900
his word. 
Truly, the love of God is 

692
00:52:39,900 --> 00:52:44,500
perfected in him. 
Truly the love of God is 

693
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:48,900
perfected in him by this. 
We know that we are in him, he 

694
00:52:48,900 --> 00:52:54,700
says he abides in him, ought 
himself also to walk just as he 

695
00:52:54,700 --> 00:52:56,500
walked. 
What how did he walk? 

696
00:52:56,700 --> 00:52:59,100
Forgive them for? 
Gave them. 

697
00:52:59,100 --> 00:53:03,300
Sorry, you don't have to be a 
doctorate to know what the word 

698
00:53:03,300 --> 00:53:09,000
says. 
Right, forgive them, let it go 

699
00:53:09,100 --> 00:53:13,000
just like he did. 
He forgave him and Let It Go. 

700
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,700
Hallelujah. 
And went to the Cross because he

701
00:53:15,700 --> 00:53:18,600
was on a mission to fulfill his 
purpose that the father had for 

702
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,500
him. 
Amen. 

703
00:53:21,700 --> 00:53:25,300
So don't let things get you off 
your purpose and the plan that 

704
00:53:25,300 --> 00:53:28,400
God has for your life because 
it's all these little things 

705
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,500
that are trying to destroy what 
God actually wants to do in your

706
00:53:32,500 --> 00:53:38,400
life, all the little things that
will cause you to get distracted

707
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:43,600
and to get off if you don't stay
focused on the word John 15:9 

708
00:53:44,700 --> 00:53:50,500
through 17 says this as the 
father loved me I also loved you

709
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,000
abide. 
Died in my love. 

710
00:53:54,500 --> 00:53:58,800
Abide in my love. 
How do you abide in his love? 

711
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:04,300
You abide in the word? 
You stay in as word, you allow 

712
00:54:04,300 --> 00:54:09,300
the holy spirit in his presence.
Come on to minister to you. 

713
00:54:09,300 --> 00:54:14,000
As you're reading the word 
staying in a constant fellowship

714
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,200
with him. 
Staying in a position of your 

715
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:21,100
heart, open to receive as you're
sitting up under the word as 

716
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:25,100
you're hearing the word always, 
your heart should be open to 

717
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:27,800
want to receive what God is 
saying. 

718
00:54:28,700 --> 00:54:32,600
Right. 
So he says, I also loved you 

719
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,200
abide in my love. 
If you have keep my 

720
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:39,000
Commandments, you will abide in 
my love. 

721
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,000
Just as I have kept my father's 
Commandments and abide in his 

722
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:48,800
love, these things I have spoken
to you that my joy would remain 

723
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:53,100
in you and that your joy may be 
full. 

724
00:54:53,500 --> 00:54:58,300
Some people's Joy is just a lack
of them abiding in the word and 

725
00:54:58,300 --> 00:55:02,600
spending time in their love 
relationship with the Lord. 

726
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:06,500
You know, he warns us in 
Revelations, right? 

727
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,300
That in the last days, you could
what lose your first? 

728
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:16,400
That you could walk away from 
your first. 

729
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,200
You can, you can lose your first
love. 

730
00:55:19,300 --> 00:55:24,200
I remember years ago, when 
pastor and I got married, this 

731
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,800
September will be 32 years and 
you know, one thing his mother 

732
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:33,000
said to us or to him. 
Earl Wayne, you're going to have

733
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:38,400
to just fall in, love with Marcy
over and over, and over again. 

734
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,300
That's what we should be doing 
with Jesus falling in love with 

735
00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:47,600
him over and over and over 
again. 

736
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,500
That means when you don't feel 
nothing, you better get stirred 

737
00:55:50,500 --> 00:55:52,500
back up to fall back in love 
with him. 

738
00:55:53,100 --> 00:55:56,300
Remember what he's done for you.
Remember where you got got? 

739
00:55:56,300 --> 00:55:58,500
Brought out of. 
Remember, come on. 

740
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:02,400
All the things he's done for you
don't ever forget it, keep it 

741
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,600
stirred up in your heart. 
Same thing you need to do when 

742
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,200
you're married, you better 
because those days that you 

743
00:56:08,208 --> 00:56:11,000
don't feel, Like love, and when 
they say something wrong, or 

744
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,500
they act of crazy way and you 
want to knock their head off or 

745
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:17,900
whatever the case may be, what 
are you going to have to do stir

746
00:56:17,900 --> 00:56:23,300
up that love and remember, oh 
yeah, I love him. 

747
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:32,100
Let me fall back in love, right?
You gotta do it. 

748
00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:35,400
You gotta do it. 
It's the same thing with our 

749
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,700
relationship with the Lord but 
how much how many of us, you 

750
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:43,500
know, get so focused on doing 
that in the natural that we 

751
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:45,200
aren't even taken time to do 
that. 

752
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:51,400
Spiritually with the father. 
It's almost like that takes pre.

753
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,200
Eminent what's that word 
precedent? 

754
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:06,300
Over your relationship with the 
father and I can tell you one 

755
00:57:06,300 --> 00:57:10,100
thing that ain't never going to 
work. 

756
00:57:10,100 --> 00:57:18,900
If that ain't right. 
Never going to work. 

757
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:23,300
If this isn't right and your 
love relationship with the 

758
00:57:23,300 --> 00:57:27,300
father isn't, right? 
Then this is going to be 

759
00:57:27,300 --> 00:57:34,600
mediocre and even at the expense
of could fail, Because God 

760
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:39,700
should be the core in the center
of your relationship, your 

761
00:57:39,700 --> 00:57:42,100
marriage. 
Amen. 

762
00:57:43,100 --> 00:57:48,600
So, we've got to keep ourselves 
stirred up in the love of God. 

763
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,900
And the way we do that is 
staying in his word Abiding. 

764
00:57:51,900 --> 00:57:55,600
And his word continually feeding
on his word. 

765
00:57:55,700 --> 00:57:57,700
Amen. 
Now what scripture did. 

766
00:57:57,700 --> 00:58:03,300
I was I own Nine. 
Yeah, okay. 

767
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,700
Verse 11. 
I guess these things I have 

768
00:58:07,700 --> 00:58:11,300
spoken to you, that your joy May
remain in you and that your joy 

769
00:58:11,300 --> 00:58:13,900
would be full. 
This is my commandment that you 

770
00:58:13,900 --> 00:58:16,700
love one. 
Another as I have loved you do 

771
00:58:16,700 --> 00:58:19,700
you see every one of these 
scriptures that I have read to 

772
00:58:19,700 --> 00:58:24,600
you tonight have are in direct 
connection with others. 

773
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:31,300
It was always about others. 
It was is not just about you. 

774
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,300
And your love towards the 
father. 

775
00:58:37,300 --> 00:58:41,600
He always wanted this love 
because again, love cannot be 

776
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,300
contained. 
And if his love is really in 

777
00:58:44,300 --> 00:58:48,400
your heart and is really full 
that you will have no problem 

778
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,300
pouring that love out onto other
people, you will have no problem

779
00:58:52,300 --> 00:58:55,800
allowing his love to flow 
through your life, to be able to

780
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,900
demonstrate it in serving one 
another and sharing with one 

781
00:58:59,900 --> 00:59:02,400
another in giving to one 
another. 

782
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:07,100
And helping one another. 
It's all part of that love at 

783
00:59:07,100 --> 00:59:12,700
work within a Believers life. 
And connecting with one another,

784
00:59:12,700 --> 00:59:17,100
how many people don't even have 
a good relationship with anybody

785
00:59:17,100 --> 00:59:20,700
else? 
You got to be around people for 

786
00:59:20,700 --> 00:59:26,000
eternity and if you can't hobnob
with people in your own body or 

787
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,600
spend time with other believers 
or spend time with somebody 

788
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,800
else. 
Come on, there is a problem 

789
00:59:34,900 --> 00:59:38,100
because we were never meant to 
be isolated. 

790
00:59:38,100 --> 00:59:40,100
We were never meant to be 
people. 

791
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:45,300
On an island, just you and God, 
God was always intentional. 

792
00:59:45,300 --> 00:59:48,800
That we were to be a family that
he wanted a family that we were 

793
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,200
be. 
We were to be a community that 

794
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,900
we were to be connected to other
people. 

795
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,400
Amen. 
And it's not just about you and 

796
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:04,000
your little household us for, 
and no more. 

797
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:10,100
Right. 
No, it was always about you, 

798
01:00:10,500 --> 01:00:14,600
pouring out your life into other
people and connecting to other 

799
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,500
people. 
It wasn't about isolation. 

800
01:00:17,500 --> 01:00:20,500
Oh well I'm just an introvert 
and I don't like all these 

801
01:00:20,500 --> 01:00:23,400
things you know fellowships and 
listen to me. 

802
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:28,400
I didn't like it. 
I didn't want anything to do 

803
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,200
with women because they're 
nasty. 

804
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:39,400
Just tell the truth. 
All the drama, all the cat 

805
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:43,700
fighting all the backbiting. 
All the gossip. 

806
01:00:43,700 --> 01:00:47,400
You know, he directly talks to 
women about gossip in the word, 

807
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:55,100
he don't talk to the men now. 
They, I know a few but but he 

808
01:00:55,100 --> 01:00:59,200
don't, he don't, he don't come 
make the gossip connection to 

809
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:03,200
men in the scripture. 
He makes the gossip connection 

810
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,900
to women being idle. 
Busybodies. 

811
01:01:08,300 --> 01:01:11,900
Gossips. 
Right. 

812
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,100
So I didn't want nothing to do 
with y'all. 

813
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,300
Just joking. 
Not y'all. 

814
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:27,900
Y'all are awesome. but, But his 
love compels me. 

815
01:01:31,300 --> 01:01:35,700
I must be connected. 
Two others. 

816
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:39,500
Right? 
So I have to get over myself. 

817
01:01:41,900 --> 01:01:43,300
That's all. 
That's about. 

818
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,800
Just get over yourself. 
Say get over yourself. 

819
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:51,000
Just get over yourself. 
Come on. 

820
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:56,300
SO and in these days with 
everything going on in the 

821
01:01:56,300 --> 01:02:00,000
world, this is very important 
and because of covid, a lot of 

822
01:02:00,008 --> 01:02:05,400
people got, shut up, come on in 
their homes, and now don't even 

823
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,100
come back to church to 
fellowship or to be around 

824
01:02:08,100 --> 01:02:13,000
people that are like-minded. 
I mean I had we've had several 

825
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,400
of them said we never going back
to church, be around people. 

826
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:26,100
That's a problem because you 
think you a Believer and going 

827
01:02:26,100 --> 01:02:29,200
to be like what you going to be 
somewhere on the sweet. 

828
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,600
Bye and bye. 
On the back of the back, 40 up 

829
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,900
in heaven, or on the New 
Jerusalem with nobody around. 

830
01:02:35,700 --> 01:02:39,000
I mean, it's not going to 
happen, we're always going to 

831
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:46,000
have people around us. 
We're always going to have 

832
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,900
people around us. 
So we need to learn how to have 

833
01:02:49,900 --> 01:02:53,300
healthy connections and 
relationships with people. 

834
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,400
We were meant to be a part of 
one. 

835
01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:00,900
Another, the Bible tells us in 
Corinthians, the hand, can't 

836
01:03:00,900 --> 01:03:02,600
tell the foot. 
I don't need you. 

837
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,400
He said, the body is all 
connected. 

838
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,000
I placed you in the body, where 
it pleases me, you know, we all 

839
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,300
are to be connected and bring a 
joint Supply and bring an 

840
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:16,500
Nourishment to one another. 
Now, you know some of us has got

841
01:03:16,500 --> 01:03:18,700
to get more nourishing than 
others. 

842
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:26,000
Right. 
But we're all to be connected, 

843
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:27,900
we're all to be a part of one 
another. 

844
01:03:27,900 --> 01:03:33,100
We're all to be person that's 
going to allow God's love to 

845
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:36,800
flow out of us and function and 
the way we're going to do that. 

846
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,400
Now, number two, I've been going
on enough. 

847
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:43,700
Number two, we're going to have 
to walk by the spirit. 

848
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,800
We're going to have to walk by 
the spirit. 

849
01:03:47,900 --> 01:03:53,000
If we're going to allow God's 
love to grow within our hearts 

850
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,000
and mature within our hearts and
we're going to, you know, walk 

851
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,200
out this love and and 
demonstrate it to the world. 

852
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:04,400
And to Believers then we're 
going to have to walk by the 

853
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:09,400
spirit because again outside of 
the word, we can't do it outside

854
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,500
of God, we can't do it because 
we needed his love shed abroad 

855
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:15,200
in our heart. 
But outside of walking in the 

856
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,900
spirit, we're not going to be 
able to do it because if We try 

857
01:04:17,900 --> 01:04:21,000
to walk by the flesh, then we're
just going to get hurt. 

858
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,600
We're going to get hurt if we 
try to walk by the flesh. 

859
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:33,700
And it's easy for believers to 
do things in the flesh. 

860
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:38,400
Do you know, Pete Believers have
been hurt thinking? 

861
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:42,600
They were walking and love with 
people. 

862
01:04:42,900 --> 01:04:47,400
That actually they should have 
cut off because they didn't have

863
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:52,300
a right definition of love and 
they wouldn't have been hurt. 

864
01:04:55,900 --> 01:05:00,200
They wouldn't have been hurt if 
they actually wasn't doing that 

865
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:04,900
in the flesh, and they were 
being led by the spirit because 

866
01:05:04,900 --> 01:05:10,900
when you're hurt, come on. 
You can see that there's times 

867
01:05:10,900 --> 01:05:12,600
that you've done thing in the 
flesh. 

868
01:05:12,700 --> 01:05:16,400
But now, I understand, there are
times you get hurt and 

869
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,700
devastated when you do things by
the spirit and you are being led

870
01:05:20,700 --> 01:05:24,400
by the spirit, there are ways 
you can get hurt but you know 

871
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,500
what that hurt? 
Does it hurt like the other 

872
01:05:27,500 --> 01:05:29,400
hurt? 
Because that hurt you are 

873
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:35,400
wrapped up in the love of God 
with and it easily just to the 

874
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,000
Forgiveness can be easily there 
to flow. 

875
01:05:39,300 --> 01:05:41,100
When you've done it by the 
spirit. 

876
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,300
Right? 
When you've done it by the 

877
01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:49,000
spirit. 
So, there's devastations that 

878
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,600
happen in our lives. 
When we think we're walking in 

879
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,900
love, or doing things, and we 
end up doing it in the flesh. 

880
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:57,100
So it's very important that we 
walk by the spirit. 

881
01:05:57,100 --> 01:06:00,500
Let's look at this in Galatians.
Chapter 5 actually. 

882
01:06:00,500 --> 01:06:03,600
I wanted to read the whole book 
of Galatians but I refrained 

883
01:06:05,300 --> 01:06:08,700
because I saw something in the 
book of Galatians chapter 5 that

884
01:06:08,700 --> 01:06:12,100
I had not seen before it, that 
something 32 years, reading the 

885
01:06:12,100 --> 01:06:17,700
word, but here's another, 
another layer that you can see I

886
01:06:17,700 --> 01:06:22,100
always focused on Galatians 
chapter 5 about the fruits of 

887
01:06:22,100 --> 01:06:26,200
the spirit. 
But actually, the whole context 

888
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:29,700
of Galatians chapter 5 is 
talking about the love of God. 

889
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:35,400
Because Galatians chapter 5 
begins to talk about faith. 

890
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:42,000
Don't work outside of love. 
And the only way you can do it 

891
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:47,800
is walking by the spirit. 
So then he goes on and lets us 

892
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:49,800
know. 
Let's look at a few scriptures 

893
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,900
though. 
It says, in Galatians chapter 5,

894
01:06:51,900 --> 01:06:54,800
I want to read 13 through 26. 
So I saved you a little. 

895
01:06:55,900 --> 01:06:58,200
It says for we were called to 
Freedom. 

896
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,800
Brethren. 
Only do not turn your freedom 

897
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:06,300
into an opportunity for the 
flesh, but through love serve. 

898
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,600
For the whole law is fulfilled. 
See this whole book is talking 

899
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:22,000
about love. 
And I never saw it in this 

900
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:27,900
context before so the whole law 
is fulfilled in one word. 

901
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:33,900
In this statement you shall love
your neighbor as your self. 

902
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,100
Okay. 
I got one scripture to that came

903
01:07:38,100 --> 01:07:41,600
to me as I was driving here 
tonight so I don't have it on my

904
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,300
notes but I'm going to pull it 
up and read. 

905
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:48,000
But if you bite and devour one 
another look at this, this is 

906
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,200
what the context he's talking 
about. 

907
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:55,100
If you buy and devour one, 
another take care that you are 

908
01:07:55,100 --> 01:08:01,000
not consumed by one another, but
I say walk by the spirit and you

909
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,800
will not carry out the desires 
of the flesh. 

910
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,000
What's the desire of the flesh 
that you're going to bite and 

911
01:08:07,900 --> 01:08:11,800
devour somebody? 
For something, they did. 

912
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,100
And they need to hear a piece of
your mind. 

913
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:20,200
Right. 
So that's the desire of your 

914
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,399
flesh to want to do that. 
To want to go punch somebody in 

915
01:08:23,399 --> 01:08:27,300
the face. 
To want to go beat the fire out 

916
01:08:27,300 --> 01:08:31,800
of somebody to want to go pull 
somebody's hair out, right? 

917
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,399
That's what girls do. 
They get the hair? 

918
01:08:36,899 --> 01:08:39,300
Oh, I know. 
I was in a few cat fights in 

919
01:08:39,300 --> 01:08:47,399
school. 
I can't remember that. 

920
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:50,300
Girl, I got in a fight with what
her name was. 

921
01:08:50,300 --> 01:08:52,500
I was trying to think of it. 
I think it was Rolanda. 

922
01:08:52,500 --> 01:08:54,200
It was right here at Murray 
middle. 

923
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:00,600
Y'all don't know. 
I have, I have a past here. 

924
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,800
Cuz I had a mouth on me and my 
mama always said my mouth was 

925
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:13,500
going to get me in trouble but 
you know I have these Rolanda 

926
01:09:13,500 --> 01:09:18,100
that was her name, she popped 
off and was being smart mouth to

927
01:09:18,100 --> 01:09:22,300
me and I popped off back in the 
teacher, had stepped out of the 

928
01:09:22,300 --> 01:09:27,399
room and she came over there and
hauled off and slap me right 

929
01:09:27,399 --> 01:09:31,700
across the face. 
So we got in a little tussle So 

930
01:09:31,700 --> 01:09:35,600
I was really just shocked that 
she went slap me, you know. 

931
01:09:36,100 --> 01:09:40,399
Anyway we got in a fight but it 
wasn't very much because the 

932
01:09:40,399 --> 01:09:43,399
teacher walked right back in the
room, right, as she went out the

933
01:09:43,399 --> 01:09:45,800
door, you know, but it was 
enough to happen, right? 

934
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:49,399
Then anyway. 
And then I got in another fight 

935
01:09:49,399 --> 01:09:55,100
in the third grade. 
I don't think I've ever shared 

936
01:09:55,100 --> 01:09:57,400
this with y'all. 
Learn something new about me all

937
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:05,700
the time. so, in the third 
grade, At Lodi Elementary lawdy 

938
01:10:05,700 --> 01:10:11,300
lawdy, lawdy Elementary. 
It was right near Lodi was where

939
01:10:11,300 --> 01:10:15,100
the Florida is still there. 
Florida State Penitentiary, 

940
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,900
right. 
Anyway, so I went to lawdy 

941
01:10:18,900 --> 01:10:25,500
Elementary School, I was in the 
third grade and you know, some 

942
01:10:25,700 --> 01:10:30,000
boy some kid. 
I was sitting there minding my 

943
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,000
own business and got up. 
Well, he walked by and like, you

944
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:38,600

how them boys do, try to rub my 

945
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,600

around and not you'll he hauled 

946
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:46,700
off and turn around and not me 
straight in the face, busted my 

947
01:10:46,700 --> 01:10:48,200
lip. 
I got a little scar here. 

948
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,300
Well, my stepdad wasn't real 
happy about that. 

949
01:10:53,300 --> 01:10:57,100
He knew whose Daddy he has, who 
his daddy was and went to his 

950
01:10:57,100 --> 01:11:00,200
house showed up, I thought, oh 
Lord, there's going to be a 

951
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:06,100
murderer, I don't know. 
Because he was that kind of set 

952
01:11:06,100 --> 01:11:11,500
bad anyway. 
Yeah, that's my fight stories. 

953
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:18,300
Had two of them. 
Flesh. 

954
01:11:18,300 --> 01:11:21,600
Yes, Nothing But The Flash. 
So help us God. 

955
01:11:25,300 --> 01:11:32,500
Oh I crack myself up. 
The things I have to say. 

956
01:11:35,100 --> 01:11:36,600
I don't look like the fighting 
time. 

957
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:43,800
Do I? 
Oh hallelujah. 

958
01:11:44,700 --> 01:11:46,800
Thank the Lord! 
I told y'all thank the Lord. 

959
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:51,900
I'm Sanctified. 
Thank you. 

960
01:11:51,908 --> 01:11:57,600
Jesus. 
So he says don't carry out, the 

961
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:02,200
desires of the flesh for the 
flesh sets itself. 

962
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:06,400
What flesh sets its desires 
against the spirit and the 

963
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:10,600
spirit against the flesh, for 
those who are in opposition to 

964
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,400
one another so that you may not 
do the things that you please, 

965
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,700
but if you are led by the 
spirit, you are not under the 

966
01:12:18,700 --> 01:12:20,700
law. 
Now, the Deeds of the flesh are 

967
01:12:20,700 --> 01:12:23,600
evident which are immorality 
impurity. 

968
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:25,900
Sensuality. 
See you read all these things 

969
01:12:25,900 --> 01:12:28,400
and just simply read the word 
and say, I don't want nothing to

970
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:33,100
do with this. 
Impurity sensuality adultery 

971
01:12:33,300 --> 01:12:38,200
idolatry, sorcery enmity, Strife
jealousy, outbursts of anger 

972
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:43,900
disputes dissensions factions 
envying, drunkenness, carousing,

973
01:12:44,900 --> 01:12:48,400
and these, and then he goes on 
to say and things like these, 

974
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:52,100
just things like these. 
There's more way more than just 

975
01:12:52,100 --> 01:12:56,500
these things listed, right? 
All the ways that the enemy has 

976
01:12:56,500 --> 01:13:01,700
created sin today, things like 
these tick-tock Snapchat 

977
01:13:01,700 --> 01:13:08,100
texting, all these things, like 
these things like these you get 

978
01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:13,000
it okay because I want to say 
just because it doesn't list, it

979
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:17,200
doesn't mean it's not implied. 
I've had people say oh it's 

980
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,300
never said anything about not 
drinking it. 

981
01:13:19,300 --> 01:13:27,500
Oh yeah has multiple scriptures 
and hard liquor in Proverbs but 

982
01:13:27,500 --> 01:13:30,300
you still got people walking 
around acting like they. 

983
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,800
Going to do it and inherit some 
things that just that messes me 

984
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,900
up. 
I don't want to be anything 

985
01:13:36,900 --> 01:13:40,500
near. 
What won't inherit, right? 

986
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:46,600
So, he says, things like these 
of which I forewarn you just, as

987
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,700
I have formed, warned you that 
those who practice, such things 

988
01:13:49,700 --> 01:13:54,400
will not inherit the kingdom of 
God, but verse 22. 

989
01:13:54,700 --> 01:13:58,000
So this is where I've always 
gone to Galatians about walking 

990
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,100
by the spirit and talking about 
the fruits of the spirit that's 

991
01:14:01,100 --> 01:14:04,100
been put in our life. 
So we already recognize that 

992
01:14:04,100 --> 01:14:08,000
Romans 5:5, said that the first 
fruit that shows up in our 

993
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:11,100
hearts is love and it's the 
first thing he list here. 

994
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,300
The fruits of the spirit. 
So the fruits of the spirit is, 

995
01:14:14,300 --> 01:14:17,000
what? 
Love, joy, peace patience, 

996
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:21,200
kindness goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness self-control and 

997
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,800
against such things. 
There is no law. 

998
01:14:23,900 --> 01:14:28,700
Now, those who belong to Christ,
Jesus, our to crucify, the flesh

999
01:14:28,700 --> 01:14:33,100
with its desires and passions. 
But if we live by the spirit, 

1000
01:14:33,100 --> 01:14:37,100
let us also walk by the spirit. 
Let us not become boastful, 

1001
01:14:37,100 --> 01:14:41,600
challenging one, another and 
envying, one another Oh, 

1002
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:46,600
Hallelujah. 
So if we are going to allow 

1003
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:51,900
God's word love to operate in 
our life, we must tap into the 

1004
01:14:51,900 --> 01:14:54,900
fruits that's been giving us, 
right. 

1005
01:14:54,900 --> 01:14:58,400
So when you want to punch 
somebody in the face you have a 

1006
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,900
fruit that's called not just 
love. 

1007
01:15:00,900 --> 01:15:06,200
But what self-control when you 
want to have an outburst of 

1008
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,300
anger? 
You have a fruit now, that's 

1009
01:15:09,300 --> 01:15:13,700
called what Self-control and 
peace. 

1010
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:20,700
Peace, patience, instead of 
responding quickly with an 

1011
01:15:20,700 --> 01:15:23,200
outburst. 
Why don't you take a step back 

1012
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:27,400
and say no, I've got patients, 
I'm not gonna respond. 

1013
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:35,300
And then the Holy Ghost can 
actually start talking to you to

1014
01:15:35,300 --> 01:15:40,800
lead you and how you can respond
by the spirit and not by the 

1015
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,400
flesh. 
Amen. 

1016
01:15:44,100 --> 01:15:46,800
Hallelujah. 
So it's very important that we 

1017
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,500
recognize and I'm closing now. 
Oh, I said I was going to read 

1018
01:15:50,500 --> 01:15:52,500
this other scripture. 
I wanted to read it. 

1019
01:15:53,500 --> 01:16:00,100
In Romans 13, Romans 13. 
Verse is 8 through 10. 

1020
01:16:00,100 --> 01:16:02,600
Says this. 
Oh, nothing to anyone except to 

1021
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:07,700
love one another. 
For he who loves his neighbor, 

1022
01:16:07,700 --> 01:16:12,800
has fulfilled the law. 
For this shall not. 

1023
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,800
You should not commit adultery. 
You should not murder. 

1024
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,000
You shall not steal, you shall 
not covet. 

1025
01:16:18,300 --> 01:16:21,900
And if there is any other 
commandment, it will be summed 

1026
01:16:21,900 --> 01:16:23,800
up. 
In this saying, you shall love 

1027
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,400
your neighbor as yourself. 
Love does no wrong to your 

1028
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,300
neighbor. 
Therefore, love is the 

1029
01:16:29,300 --> 01:16:34,100
Fulfillment of the law. 
Hallelujah! 

1030
01:16:34,500 --> 01:16:38,100
Love is the Fulfillment of the 
law. 

1031
01:16:38,300 --> 01:16:44,300
So, as we allow a god, A to 
operate in our life every day on

1032
01:16:44,300 --> 01:16:49,600
a daily basis thinking about 
what am I motivated by what what

1033
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:54,200
is it that compelling me to do 
the things? 

1034
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,900
I'm doing to say the things, I'm
saying to operate the way that 

1035
01:16:57,900 --> 01:17:04,200
I'm operating, you must say, you
know what, I must ask myself, is

1036
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:09,900
this a posture of love? 
Is this coming from love? 

1037
01:17:10,100 --> 01:17:16,200
Or is this coming from a, a 
fleshly desire, even right? 

1038
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:21,000
What is this coming from? 
And we have to recognize, 

1039
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,800
listen, guys, that in the day 
that we're living. 

1040
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,900
We've, we really need to get 
serious. 

1041
01:17:25,900 --> 01:17:29,900
About the love of God. 
We really need to get serious 

1042
01:17:29,900 --> 01:17:33,700
about it. 
Loving him and loving others and

1043
01:17:33,700 --> 01:17:37,900
walking in a god, Baal of 
walking by the spirit, walking 

1044
01:17:37,900 --> 01:17:43,800
by the word and not fulfilling 
the desires of the Flesh and 

1045
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:48,800
loving one, another So that the 
world truly can't see, man. 

1046
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,400
This group of people really love
each other man, they're always 

1047
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,400
helping each other out whenever 
something's going on in 

1048
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:58,400
somebody's life they're always 
there to help. 

1049
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:03,700
This is how the world's going to
see the true love of God. 

1050
01:18:04,900 --> 01:18:10,000
The true essence of who he is 
that we can forgive people that,

1051
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:15,300
we don't Harbor ill feelings, 
that we let things go easily 

1052
01:18:15,300 --> 01:18:21,600
people, people will see this and
they'll recognize that, you know

1053
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,700
what, they really love one 
another. 

1054
01:18:23,700 --> 01:18:31,100
They really function like God, 
wouldn't that be something if we

1055
01:18:31,100 --> 01:18:37,800
could see everybody rising up 
into The agape love and walking 

1056
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:41,800
it out every day and knowing 
that this is my motivation, the 

1057
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:43,900
love of God is what motivates 
me. 

1058
01:18:45,500 --> 01:18:48,700
This is why I do what I do. 
Right. 

1059
01:18:48,900 --> 01:18:53,200
And you know what the Bible says
that love never fails. 

1060
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:58,000
So we could be assured that if 
we are applying his love to our 

1061
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:02,500
life and it's being seen and 
demonstrated to others, then, 

1062
01:19:02,500 --> 01:19:05,400
you know what, whatever it is 
whatever's going on. 

1063
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:09,700
It's not going to fail because 
his love doesn't fail when I 

1064
01:19:09,700 --> 01:19:13,400
apply it to the situation that 
it needed. 

1065
01:19:13,500 --> 01:19:25,900
Amen.
